But you don't get that stuff as school either.
Why would you say this?
A gammonesque comment if I ever saw one.

I don't get it, most schools before A-level don't seem to teach critical thinking to that extent.
I didn't even get it a uni here at a bSc computer science, checking sources, yes.
Checking bias, yes.
Estimating complex scenarios like Brexit, nope.Happy to be wrong here though!

I disagree...and I teach in a secondary school....all the focus is on exam subjects...True this might come up in A level politic...for 5-10 students out of a 1000.....it could br raised in PSHE [personal, social, health education] and citizenship....but kids are not interested....how do I know? I have both been head of PSHE and Citizenship and taught it.
Remember what Mark Twain said...'never let your schooling get in the way of your education'.

And even when experts butt in a projected futures "nobody can predict the future"
Sure, sure, let's throw all the modelling we use for complex projects / the NHS out of the window too.
But in a way it is an educational issue, nothing in life can be predicted to 100% certainty, and most people don't accept that a shifting model with 80% accuracy assuming 60% of things stay the same is not exactly the same as somebody pulling hot air out of their ass.
