The problem is that people assume others are too stupid for technical information. So its siloed. People in the field have learned to abrogate a search engine to return technical results (e.g. looking for direct links to documentation or using a search tool like google scholar to read scientific literature). However, most people aren’t taught these skills in the general sense. All they might know is that narrow scope written to a 6th grade reading level. On the other hand, if we are able to get more people ready access to the ground truth technical information on different topics to people instead of narrow scope information that often leaves you misinformed, I’d imagine that would kick start an untold era of innovation and progress for our species. Too bad using our computer networks to distribute advertising and propaganda is seen as more profitable than future advancements, that I guess must be liable to disrupt the profitable status quo.
