Questioning, and asking for the evidence, is one of the most important skills now

Asking where a claim came from is one of the most important skills this generation needs, and in large part they already have it: they connect the dots, they find things, they are good detectives; people underestimate them.

Decided by. Dinis, in Follow the rabbit holes: 'This is that chapter'; the editor records it in the vault (task 1)

Note. 'Good detectives' is Dinis's experience, not a study; the article says so.
