Wouldn't need large government if people ~~just thought the same way~~ still had VALUES!

The fewer people we have studying society, the better society will be!

Also, drink up! I'm funnier when you do!

You may have meant this more of an expression of shock, regardless it is good to think about the question. Hope you don't mind if I run with it for the general discussion.

Babies and children have an innate desire to learn, which can be nourished or beaten down. If it's beaten down long enough, "Ignorant" may become that child's preferred state as they get older, for reasons of domestic safety and social norms.

This lack of respect for knowledge and the accompanying lack of knowledge makes things that are outside someone's worldview threatening. They respond as if it was a threat and the cycle continues.

It is supposed to be the job of schools to rescue children from that cycle, by providing them with a space where they can be curious and not have to worry about a bigoted family member coming down on them. Sometimes they succeed but I think more often they don't, especially in areas where bigotry is rampant and/or where schools are underfunded or beholden to antisocial policies and laws.

I'm on a long bus ride, hence the exposition :)

If you aren't the customer, you are the product. Congrats on being monetized and kinda sorta immortalized as a series of weights.

Is it a line from Yee's latest tune?

I used to be able to do that. This post is making me feel old.

It was enough of a dumpster fire before it got all musky. After it got the preputial gland the edgelords became MOR and there was no arguing past their mechanical circle jerk of atavism.
