It's a side note, but I think open research (in combination with a bit more readable language) would contribute a bit to suppressing conspiracy theories and general scientific knowledge. Right now, proofs and research are locked away behind paywalls and inaccessible to the usual reader - an open policy would allow far more linking and quoting and therefore get the average person used to looking things up in papers.
