But seeing errors in others is often the first step
In many cases people get more confident about their own beliefs if they see errors in other peoples reasoning. That's why smarter Republicans who are better at spotting errors are more likely to be climate skeptics than dumber Republicans.
I was looking at a discussion of what should be in a college curriculum, and as such discussions seem to go, there was a big list of things everyone should study, and some political claims about what's being offered but shouldn't be.
Instead, what do you wish you'd studied in college? What do you wish other people had studied in college? On the latter, do you think everyone should have studied it, or do you just wish more people knew about it? Approximately what percentage of people?
Of course, this doesn't have to be limited to college. People could learn the same things earlier or later.
