Is there a thread somewhere about effective ways to plant the 'rationalist seed' in your children? I'd like to see something other than anecdotes ideally. But just ideas about books to read, shows to watch, or places to visit for different ages of children would be useful to me. For example,
My 2 and 4 year old both love Introductory Calculus For Infants
And a couple of years ago I got the the Star War ABC which lead to a HUGE love of Star Wars. I'm hoping that turns into a love of Science Fiction...
On the math side, DragonBox is great for teaching the symbol manipulation aspect of algebra for kids, though it doesn't do much to teach where the rules actually come from. But at least personally I find that it's generally the symbol manipulation that's the harder part, anyway.
Far as I can tell, you just have to keep hammering at it. Children pretty much exhibit all the major cognitive biases, untrammelled. I do occasionally ask "How do you know that?" and pursue it a bit, but it doesn't take long to exhaust an extroverted 6yo's philosophical introspection.
Thanks for the tips.
