Study logic.
One example, you read this in the paper. Meme "critical thinking" will tell you:
>Who is saying this? A gas station owner
>Why is he saying this? He probably wants to sell as much gas as possible, that's probably why.
Someone who has studied logic looks at the same thing, spots the logical fallacy in the gas station owner's statement, affirming the consequent, and then addresses that. You were brainwashed.
