We believe that critical thinking is so crucial that we're pulling out all the stops, employing AI, comedic and dramatic effects, and even channeling the voices of historical figures to bring our message home.
Introducing FactSPARK: Igniting the Spark Toward Facts
At the heart of our Super Series is #FactSPARK, a powerful tool designed to help you sift through the noise and find the truth. FactSPARK stands for Source Verification, Precise Evidence Examination, Accurate Cross-Referencing, Recognizing Biases, and Knowledge Application. It's a step-by-step guide to critical thinking that’s both simple and profound, meant to help you discern the facts from the BS.
Here it is broken down:
Source Verification:
Just like a meticulous researcher, always start by checking the credibility of the sources. Their sources and your sources. #SourceVerification
Precise Evidence Examination:
Scrutinize the evidence. Look for concrete data and reliable studies. Just because it’s said or written does not make it a fact. #EvidenceExamination
Accurate Cross-Referencing:
Validate information by cross-referencing it with multiple reputable sources. #CrossReferencing
Recognizing Biases:
Be aware of biases in the information and within yourself. Strive for objectivity. #RecognizeBias
