## Why Critical Thinking Matters Now

### The Information Crisis
- Misinformation spreads 6x faster than truth
- Anyone can publish anything online
- AI can generate convincing fake content
- Social media creates filter bubbles
- Emotional content gets shared more than factual

## The SIFT Method

```
S - STOP
Before sharing or believing, pause.

I - INVESTIGATE THE SOURCE
Who created this? What's their expertise?

F - FIND BETTER COVERAGE
What do other sources say?

T - TRACE CLAIMS
Where did this originate?
```

## The CRAAP Test

```
C - CURRENCY: When was this published?
R - RELEVANCE: Does this relate to your question?
A - AUTHORITY: Who is the author? Credentials?
A - ACCURACY: Is this supported by evidence?
P - PURPOSE: Why does this exist? Bias?
```

## Red Flags

### Content Red Flags
- Extreme emotional language
- "They don't want you to know this"
- No sources or citations
- Too good/bad to be true
- Confirms everything you want to believe

### Source Red Flags
- Unknown or anonymous author
- No contact information
- URL looks suspicious
- Site is full of ads

## Critical Thinking Questions

### For Any Claim
- How do I know this is true?
- What's the evidence?
- Who says so, and why should I trust them?
- What am I not being told?
- Who benefits if I believe this?

### For Statistics
- Where did this number come from?
- What's being measured, exactly?
- Who funded the study?
- Is this correlation or causation?
