giving them a good basic understanding of bullshit and how con artists work would be useful.

• What is the bullshitter's motivation to sway you?
• Does the history of the bullshitter give you pause?
• What are the facts the bullshitter is providing?
• Can you verify what the bullshitters say?
• Does any part of the bullshitters demeanor not line up with what the bullshitters say to YOU?
• Does the bullshitter walk the walk or is it all bullshit?
• Do they have a family history of bullshit?
• Do they surround themselves with other people as full of bullshit as they are?
• Does the bullshitter hug the flag like a 40 year-old rapist attacks a 14 year-old in a bikini?
• etc.
