[MD] Heads or tails?

[David M]

Hi Ian/David H/SA

Funny how there is so much education yet so little about
how to evaluate different beliefs and arguments. Most people
get confused and give up. For me, nothing beats a good grounding
in philosophy or intellectual history. But it is not easy to find any
good education in these. I wonder why?
