We could also try to fix
Not gonna happen with lobbyists and shareholder corps benefitting from an intellectually stunted populace. The unregulated economic system incentivizes this.
- lolinder 2y ago> intellectually stunted populace Case in point. Go out and meet some of these people and then report back.
- staplers 2y agoYou know nothing about me or where I come from. You're not making the point you think you are. You can lead a horse to water. It's not my job to encourage intellectual rigor. It's political leadership's. Pushing that burden onto imaginary everyday philosophers you've conjured up is futile.

- lolinder 2y agoSaid "imaginary everyday philosophers" created the anti-intellectual backlash by, among other things, saying things like what you're saying here. Asking them to either shut up or actually make an effort to bridge the divide isn't futile, it's our only hope.
- Aeglaecia 2y agoyour perspective is seen through a lens , his comment is true , western education systems suck and don't produce bright individuals by design
- pas 2y agoWhose job is to pick a leadership that then values said rigor? Since this is a feedback loop it's everyone's duty to help so it works as a virtuous cycle and not the poo-poo loop it has become.
