I completely agree with you there. The thing is: We have the internet, the most influential technology to spread information and educate people that has ever been created. It's time to use it again like it was in the MIT OpenCourseWare kind of days, before deceivers got their platforms where they can "buy-in" their opinions. And I personally think that a Web Browser could be so much more than just a dumb tool to download things and forget about them afterwards. It could be an assistant, a teacher, a ledger, a librarian, a historian.

> The thing is: We have the internet, the most influential technology to spread information and educate people that has ever been created. A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth gets its boots on. The internet accelerates lies at least as much as the truth. I don't think the problem is education, it's a lack of strong shared commitments. It doesn't matter how clearly you explain something if the other party isn't interested in understanding it. I don't think that problem will be solved as long as all factions are more focused on defeating each other at all costs.
