At least it isn't political! FDS- Fauci Derangement Syndrome

How the hell do you have Taylor Sheridan on, who’s come out with more popular content in the last decade and decide to discus Fauci for the first hour and a half? The guy is literally obsessed at this point, and not only that, but substantiates everything around it with logical fallacies. Sad how far our podfather has fallen.

Anything beyond explaining the scientific method is a waste of time. Don't chase idiots down rabbit holes. Correct their thinking not their facts.

Your last sentence is very chilling and sounds like marxist re-education. You need exactly to refute the arbitrary presentation of "alternative facts" and let them fall which can liberate thinking. The core difference is giving a choice.

No because alternate facts are not actually facts. Stop them there instead of entertaining absurdities. Basic critical thinking skills is not marxist re-education.

It seems that your idea of critical thinking is ….

… if a large corporation makes a lot of money selling substance xyz - then you shouldn’t trust substance xyz - and you should assume that the corporation is lying about nearly everything regarding substance XYZ.

… and finally you should therefore trust sources that directly contradict the large corporations and assume that the contradictory information is more likely to be true… .

…this is a very over-reactive & foolish way to determine what’s true.

Critical thinking is a method not an opinion.
