Viv's critical thinking toolkit

• Is there scientific evidence? Look for peer-reviewed studies
• Is it expensive? You could probably buy a book and get the same info?
• Who is selling it? Is it a white guru?
• Is it dogmatic? Do they have strict all-or-nothing rules?

Special thanks to Kyrie, Christine, Nicole, Abby, and Kayla for sharing their thoughts with us and to Heather for letting us use a clip from her podcast. Thanks to our personal protective crystal Madame Gandhi for our amazing backing music, Yellow Sea.
