Just another step in cultural and cognitive speciation.
Brains & bodies, the minds that run on them, as well as the levels of consciousnesses with their context-switched/hopping awareness are not build the same, neither passively, nor actively.
If you propose to make the bulk of the people smarter and more competent vs just more productive you end up with smarter voters and more competent participants on the markets and in civil society.
Nothing big would change but smarter voters and news audiences have been a no-go, despite being a no-brainer, forever.
People are supposed to reason themselves into whatever enlightenment shines brightest during the time they grow up.
None of that is your problem. "It" is not everywhere. You can always build your own or join some net that doesn't even bother laughing about this shit. There's too much more.
