Teaching Children How to Think, Not What to Think

with guest Jesse Richardson, President of The School of Thought

More than perhaps any other time in human history, we are all bombarded with fake news. Sorting out the many biases and logical fallacies that often pass for communication is getting harder and harder.

Teaching children how to think rather than what to think is the passion and focus of this episode’s guest, Jesse Richardson, an internationally award-winning creative director, strategist and art director for over 20 years. He is the creator of three of Australia’s most successful viral campaigns. Founder and President of The School of Thought, he is promoting critical thinking with free creative common resources.
