It's the country's role or more specifically, the role of education to equip citizens with skills that will help them navigate virtual, deceiving and fake internet space.

That is certainly an opinion and a higher goal we could hold ourselves to, but education is generally just a way to ensure kids grow up to be good citizens - and today good tends to mean productive, contributing to the economy.

See my reply to the other comment of my same opinion :)

No, it's not. Where does it say so?

Educational goals focus on broader set of skills and competences including critical and logical thinking. You can find this in most national and federal documents. That's because the education in its traditional sense is a country investing in its own working force. Normally, a country would want a healthy, educated and productive workforce, but if this is not the case then we have a different problem.

Sure, but there are so many skills to focus on, that one can hardly expect people to stay off drugs because one lesson was spent on how bad it is.

Companies are constantly inventing new ways to get people hooked on their platforms (or products), and it's a pretty tough race for teachers.

Note also the difference in salaries for high school teachers and developers at Meta.

The point is not to have a one shitty lesson on it, probably by someone who doesn't even know what cookies are. The point is, that alongside learning math, biology and history, you should also come out of educational system emotionally mature and equipped with skills to survive in modern world. Not all skills are acquired through a deliberate lesson, the role of school is not only to teach but to upbring a generation(s).

If Huberman can teach you a basics of nutrition so can a formal educational process. The problem with relying on youtube educators is then that it is down to luck if someone will come across it.

You are focusing too much on formalities. It doesn't say so specifically, but a collateral of education, or maybe it's equally important as knowledge itself, is the ability of critical thinking.

I was being sarcastic, sorry for that. Critical thinking might work for a few people in higher education, but it surely doesn't work for all of us.

Are you still being sarcastic?
