If we've learned anything its foolishness to expect motivated smart people to hold enough knowledge and have a good enough mental model of the world to deal with all its complexities, so how the fuck do we get apathetic bottom quartile dipshits to do so? Especially when cognitohazards are rampant
I don't think we can just educate our way out of this alone since that requires people to be willing and able to accept the teachings. We need new ways to make people accept mental black boxes that encompass the world. New propoganda, new information control, new societal pressures, new mechanisms.
Your perspective is insightful and highlights the challenges posed by educational and cognitive disparities It's unrealistic to expect everyone to master complex knowledge, but perhaps we should focus more on simplifying information so that more people can develop basic critical thinking skills
