re: #233 EPR-radar

These would all be steps in the right direction, but the real issues here seem deeper to me. What really causes nearly half the electorate in a democracy to willfully choose stupidity over reason, and how on Earth can they be convinced to be more rational?

critical thinking skills.

and i would be super clear while going further: “reason” and “rational” do not mean “agree with me”. the way a lot of people toss it around. “if only you’d listen, or read this, you’d understand and you’d see the light.”

I don’t care about your politics or your political affiliations. It’s not your position or who you vote for. I dont care who you vote for. I care how you decide who and what to vote for.

it’s how you develop that position, how you make your evaluations and decisions. The process - the critical thinking, in gathering info, acceptance of what you hear and see, that is more of a window on who you are (and aren’t) than anything else
