  • Except the evil doers are the ones specifically making sure people are uneducated.

    That is exactly the point I am making. I didn’t argue against the point, I argued against the framing

    So instead of framing it as “the population is uneducated” it would be framed as “oligarchs are keeping the population uneducated”…


  • Hmmmm while I agree a large uneducated population is a terrible problem, I would not say this is the cause. I would characterize it as a “condition” necessary to get this low.

    I find just saying all problems are because of lack of education feels like an indirect way of saying “If I take advantage of you, it’s only because you let me” which I believe leaves the evil-doers off the hook

    Kind of like saying “the problem with school shootings is because kids are so soft and squishy, they are easily destroyed by bullets” (obviously I am exaggerating here to make my point clearer)
