"Over the past few decades, we have witnessed a rapid acceleration in the creation of new knowledge, along with unprecedented access to information through digital devices that are always with us. However, misjudgements still haunt us on a personal and societal level. Moreover, our inability to evaluate the veracity and reliability of the information in our countless pocket-sized Alexandria libraries means that we are more likely to believe false information and draw the wrong conclusions based on "facts" that may be fed to us by those who understand the flaws in human thinking enough to manipulate us.

...Some commentators on the 2016 US election, for example, have concluded that many Americans make decisions based on emotion rather than reason, and have suggested that the public's ability to think critically is either non-existent or very fragile. But you don't have to be interested in politics to see the problems associated with a lack of critical thinking. How many impulsive purchases, bad career decisions, pointless arguments with loved ones, and other problems could be avoided if we could train our brains to find and evaluate evidence, organise it in a structured way for analysis, and base decisions on the rules that have protected common sense since the days of Socrates and Aristotle?"
