Eduard De B ono, claimed by many as the father of Lateral Thinking, said that there has never been a school course on thinking - well there was one in Moscow at one high school for a time but that appears to be it.

The comment below is on the spot, every CLAIM only stands IF it has the EVIDENCE to support it. No evidence = no valid claim. AND the evidence much be independently verifiable. As the commentator points out below, most jump straight to justifying themselves when presented with a Claim from a perceived authority.

The first and most fundamental critical thinking that anyone can apply, but don't: "you claim; you prove first".

Look at how people rush to react to any claims made by govts and "experts" without applying that basic rule. Look at the claims of Brandon: where are the proofs?

Really looking forward to watching this presentation, Robyn. I'm fascinated by this, particularly in our current times. :)
