I’m interested in helping friends tell the difference between fact and fiction, truth and hearsay and general stuff like that that gives peace of mind that they can defend themselves from gaslighting, makes life easier to live, and harder to be taken advantage of by propaganda. Just a few examples.

Bonus points if it’s free. I see one on coursera that runs for four hours per week for several months which works out at roughly over €100 https://www.coursera.org/specializations/logic-critical-thinking-duke

    Very interesting and great to get a recommendation someone has tried themselves. Thank you.

      I’ve heard from some of the people I recommend it to that they didn’t like it, so it’s very much a ymmv thing. I remember it because it actually made me question my religion with some of the points discussed, which got the ball rolling towards becoming an atheist.

        I’m not familiar with the franchise so it wouldn’t suit me but I can think of many people I could refer it to. Also since it’s not written by the bigoted woman herself I’d have less resistance to sharing it.

          It’s mostly written for to attract nerds who liked Harry Potter. Hp fanfic can be all over the place, but HPMOR was one of the better ones. Hope it helps!
