Someone does not expand their knowledge, they will always be biased and believe what the media says. As it is said in the book The Demon Haunted World, “If you have never heard of science you can hardly be aware that you are embracing pseudoscience” (Sagan 15). With more expanded knowledge, one can know what is true and what is not true, as one can use one's experience as a way of knowing. An example of this is that if someone is a Christian and was only taught the Bible, they will not believe how living things were created based on scientific facts. But a Christian who has been taught the Bible and attended a public school will respect scientific fact. They may not believe it, but they know there are proven facts about how life was created. Another example is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, from TED TALKS, who explains how not being exposed blinded her. When he lived in Nigeria, all he read were stereotypical books about cultures. Later, when he visited Mexico, he believed that the people there hated their country and wanted to escape to America. But, when she entered a restaurant, she saw people talking and was shocked that her opinions about people were wrong. The main point of this example is to show how not being exposed to the world and not having in-depth knowledge can affect someone's life. The rise of pseudoscience is due to the result of human nature of looking at unproven facts and fantasizing about them, even without being exposed to the world. To help reduce the rise of pseudoscience, it starts with the person knowing what is and isn't a bias and seeing multiple points of view on each side. Also, expanding your knowledge, one example is understanding science and knowing why things happen. If everyone does this, there will be an increase in science and a decline in science
