> There is no such thing as "artificial scarcity of learning material" There is when someone (like me) isn't methodologically literate or has a learning framework with which to compare, structure and integrate what they cover and will cover (i.e. a system for framing the clear-ish paths/lessons, that shows the overarching path forward, and that helps set and manage expectations (with the help of more experienced guides/peers), and give clarity on what could be gained). After falling through the cracks of the hunger-games -esque capitalist education system, I am not offered a second chance. Ours is a 'zero second chance' society. So yes, maybe to you it seems like "there were never better times", yet that is not my reality. There are few bridges from where I'm located. This is what Denise-Marie Ordway, author of the article linked to on this thread, says about it: "The researchers note that it’s tough for lay audiences to fully understand complex topics [...] They suggest a more sustainable solution for curbing misinformation is helping the public develop a type of scientific literacy known as methodological literacy. People who understand scientific methods and research designs can better evaluate claims about science and research, they explain." > Have you been to a socialist country? Socialism isn't a project for building socialist 'nations'. Capitalist borders only exist for the propertied class to control their capital. Socialism aims to build up and connect the exploited and alienated working class globally. I'm living in a capitalist hellscape and i want to abolish silicon valley. https://tribunemag.co.uk/2019/01/abolish-silicon-valley https://tribunemag.co.uk/2019/01/abolish-silicon-valley

(1) So when where there better times in your reality? Again, I maintain that never in the history of mankind did anyone have better access to both material (books, articles), and curricula (e.g. from open courses, MIT courseware, Coursera, Udemy, etc). It's all available, it's up to you to use it. (2) >Socialism isn't a project for building socialist 'nations'. It very much is, though. >Capitalist borders only exist for the propertied class to control their capital. Socialist borders, on the other hand, exist to keep their own people within, with minefields, guard towers, self shooting devices, etc. We tried socialism, it doesn't work, and the outcome is often dehumanizing and horrible. I suggest you visit a border museum of the former East-Germany West-Germany border.
