My only exposure to logic in high school was geometry -- in which I got first an A, then a C, then an F, so clearly it wasn't taught WELL. And I'm really a hopeless doofus with higher math, so trying to get me to remember things by rote which made no sense to me in the first place... not optimal. Still, I'm pretty good at logic, or so say the various IQ tests I've taken in my life.
I did have an english elective called Mass Media, which got pretty deeply into the widespread brainwashing of the public by said media, particularly advertising -- which is deeply based in psychology -- the psychology of making people want things they don't have, and maybe can't afford -- if they think they *need* something, they'll find a way to afford it. I suspect this psychology is in play with all the "global warming" crap, to sell "hybrid" or electrical cars -- which cost more than their gas-guzzling counterparts.
