    Read some Erich von Däniken. He's a good, convincing and entertaining writer. But it's all very weird... at some point it just gets too thick.

    Having this kind of material in school would help people to understand that presentation isn't everything. Something that looks convincing on the surface might not be that.

    This seems like a good place to start, but the cynic in me wonders if these "pre-bunking" campaigns are going to be preemptively shut down by short-sighted execs in the name of next quarter's profit.
