The motivation centers around capitalism. Critical thinkers aren’t going to reach for their wallet every time they see a stupid advertisement featuring dancing penguins. As a bonus to the corporatocracy, the brain dead electorate with no critical thinking skills vote for the people who will make their life worse.
Tbh considering how it is a method, not a subject really, I think it is indirectly taught in so many subjects: math, literature, philosophy, biology, physics and more.
I really don’t see the point of teaching it as a standalone subject, although I would be curious to see how that works.
It’s kind of implied rather than explicitly taught, and even then only really in certain subjects after those subjects become optional.
The misanthrope in me questions how many of the people in the mobs paid attention in school in the first place. You can’t just hammer stuff into kids heads, you need to inspire them to love learning and I doubt we will be getting that.
Is this… not currently taught?
It is conveniently left out in many large countries, one wonders what motivation they might have to skip on this skill?
