I've been trying to learn how to analyse and evaluate information out there more effectively.
Everybody should. There is a lot of information warfare going on these days on the internet.
Most people could probably recognise crude WW2-style propaganda and be critical of it, but modern propaganda is often so well made that people don't realise it's propaganda. Especially when it's designed as memes or content that people share with their friends. We're always more ready to believe stuff that comes from people we already trust to some degree.
