Finland's strategy against misinformation offers an interesting perspective worth considering. They've made information literacy a cornerstone of their education system, starting with young learners in preschool. Rather than waiting until kids are older, educators introduce basic critical thinking skills early—teaching them to question sources, spot inconsistencies, and think independently about what they encounter.



This approach resonates with Web3 participants who constantly navigate information overload and potential scams. In a space where due diligence is critical, the ability to verify claims and identify red flags becomes essential. Finland's model shows that building these habits from the ground up—not just through warning labels or fact-checking services—creates a more resilient information ecosystem.

The takeaway? Whether in traditional media or decentralized finance, the foundation of trust starts with education and critical thinking skills.

Finland's set of information literacy systems starting from children really hits the pain points of us Web3 people... Isn't it exhausting to be constantly on guard against scams, brothers? --- Basically, we need to learn to distinguish for ourselves and not believe everything. Compared to those post-event warning labels, it's better to cultivate critical thinking from a young age. --- This logic is also fully applicable in the crypto world. Due diligence = a mandatory course for survival. Without this mindset, you'd have been cut off long ago. --- By the way, when will our education system start to pay attention to this... Relying solely on community reminders isn't enough. --- But honestly, there aren't many people who truly question everything. Most still rely on luck and painful lessons.

Finland's approach of teaching critical thinking from a young age is actually about building information immunity... We in Web3 need to have this mindset as well, or else we'll be constantly exploited by various crypto influencers.

Finland starts cultivating critical thinking from kindergarten, and I have to admit that they really have something... It's much more useful than the after-the-fact "risk warnings" in the crypto world. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself to grow your brain. There's no other way.

Finland's approach is indeed impressive; they teach critical thinking from a young age... Unlike us, where even now many people are getting caught in scams, which shows that the basic education is way behind.

Finland's education system is truly amazing, starting with critical thinking from a young age... Isn't this the most lacking in Web3? Yet many people are still getting rug pulled.

nah, finland figured out what most people still haven't—you can't fact-check your way out of stupidity, gotta build the immune system early. but here's the thing, even with all that critical thinking... *checks wallet* ...people still fomo into obvious rugpulls. transaction patterns don't lie, but brains apparently do.
