Critical thought isn’t a cure by itself, especially when belief systems (religious, cultural, political) can absorb or even weaponize it. Resilience has to be built before the infection spreads.

The challenge now isn’t just teaching how to think critically it’s giving people an immune system strong enough to resist weaponised information before they even realise they’re under attack.
We don’t have perfect countermeasures yet. But like you said: we have to try. Early resilience might be the only way to slow metastasis before it becomes irreversible.
Beyond the scope of this thread, I'm sure, but as I read about metastasis, I think about the Dark Ages. It took humans centuries to escape them, but humanity had the luxury of time then.
Now we seem to be hurtling backward. Not confident the species can survive another Dark Ages.
