@SebDance They're called the Humanities, Seb.

@GoingMedieval I know, I took philosophy. I think more people would clearly benefit from studying politics too!

@SebDance @gullssinceaboy It would be easier to make people qualify to vote by virtue of something other than age. Lower the age to 17 but make it an IQ type test to earn your vote.

@SebDance @guse_guse Difficult when public schools are continuously defunded, pay-to-learn schools having an increasing emphasis on religion or non relevant checkbox tests.

@SebDance 100% we don't prepare young people properly. I experience this on a daily basis with small Business owners. Media, Communications, Politics. The National Curriculum was last updated in July 2014. 🤔

@SebDance I'm still not entirely convinced that we as a species are ready for the printing press nevermind a global information network linking billions of people together instantaneously. See also, the 30 Years War and Gibbo saying the queen is dead.

@SebDance @lunaperla

@SebDance @AukeHoekstra People? i think you mean the boomers

@SebDance @LittleGravitas Intuition 'sifts fact from fiction' every time that's all you need to know. Achieving and understanding how to access and use your intuition is more difficult.

@SebDance So much to unpack around this whole issue.

@SebDance Its called Political & #MediaLiteracy , and yes we couldn't agree with you more. We run both in schools across the UK and are currently setting up an APPG on #PoliticalLiteracy to make sure both are embedded into the curriculum properly once and for all, we'd love to chat :)

@SebDance And when we do, when we pass the end of term exam, can we please opt out of being bossed around by the leaders of the gang that gets the most votes but is inherently incapable of the intelligence to run a whelk stall.

@SebDance Well meant, but sadly that's *not* the solution.

@SebDance Sifting "adult human female" from "feels like a woman" is gonna be your first serious conversation about reality, mate.

@SebDance The people teaching those skills have to believe in facts first. That’s your first problem. Arendt’s comments on this issue are still the best.

@SebDance It’s pretty easy ignore the media and rely on source documents

@SebDance Top number one skill.

@SebDance And Media Studies courses were derided

@SebDance Education Education Education

@SebDance also, social media platforms cannot walkaway from this sh*tshow without consequences
