Students are unable to process (think) information

Point: I cannot “prove” it but it is still true and you ought to believe it.
Additional (key) point: did you believe me? With this simple question, you now have doubts and “feel” like you have been suckered. It is easy to take advantage of someone’s mind. It is our fault if we live that way. A skeptical life is not a virtuous life.
