One thing I have tried to get in the habit of doing is to confirm the information. Especially if the quote a report like this article has. There are a lot of things that seem on the verge of BS that when I find a number of studies and reports backing I may still be wary of the content but believe it a bit more. That's one thing I see so many people do these days and why I moved away from Facebook. They would share something they like the idea of without doing any research to confirm it. And then regurgitate what the content was saying, to refute counterarguments, or use other commentors points who had agreeded with them in a manner that showed very little individual thought.
