On the other hand, when your best solution is 'educate everyone', you're pretty hosed. You're looking at like ten or twenty year horizon on the payoff (if it works at all), at which point we'll have an entirely different set of problems, perhaps exacerbated by our inability to deal with the problem at hand...

- Pharmakon 8y agoCompetitive pay for teachers is a must, regardless of how we choose to approach the critical thinking aspect of things. You also don’t need to educate everyone, just a sufficient majority. As for the lag time, yeah of course it would take time, it took time to but the system in the first place. I would argue that whatever problems were facing by that time, a solid education and grounding in critical thinking skills would help. By contrast a pig-ignorant electorate that can be led by any group of random voices is always problematic.
