The world can’t get better until the idea leaders and or sufficient numbers of the masses are led to the questions of “What do I know?” and “How do I know this?”. In other words, the basis of scientific thought and experiment design. The path must then flow effortlessly back into the self-reliant frontier cultures’ “How do I/we profit from applying this refined information?”
Without sustained problem solving on all three of these questions, average people of all abilities are going to blindly do what marketers sell them to do which fits their hidden assumptions concerning what can and can’t be done. They can’t help themselves. Following is just civilized human nature.
