There is no silver bullet; the first step is understanding why pseudoscience is so popular even among people who should know better — since many with higher education still fall for it, lack of education isn’t the whole story. One thing teaching could change is telling students to blindly accept and memorize what we teach, which helps them pass exams but doesn’t make them question reality. Because propagators of pseudoscience often speak from borrowed academic authority on matters outside their expertise, students need a mental 'red light’ prompting them to verify claims from any authority. Teaching should emphasize citing sources and verifying data and AI outputs from the very start — not banning AI or crowdsourced sites like Wikipedia, but demanding critical checking. Popularization should stay humble, and the usual quality-assurance standards should apply to it too.
