Impervious to Nonsense.
Two major and one minor point of emphasis to accomplish this:
1) Strong Biblical knowledge and worldview.
2) Thorough understanding of Basic Economics, T Sowell style.
3) Probability and statistics (yes, it IS dumb to buy a lottery ticket. No, youre not more likely to get a tails after getting 5 heads in a row)
This semester my son, a senior in our homeschool, is listening to n audio cd of "The Universe Next Door " an excellent exploration of worldview. He took it to work on his i-phone and listened to it to& from the job site, and at lunch.
He came so excited - he talked my ear off !
Worldview studies, in my opinion, might be the most important focus that one can have these days. It “armors up” your kids to face the world and all the nonsense that they are bombarded with.
Thanks for the rec on the “Universe Next Door”.
I recommend Summit Ministries’ “Understanding the Times” book. Noebel (author) also has a shorter version of the material in a book called “Thinking Like a Christian”.
