    A less intentionally broken education system would reduce the scale of the harm done.

      It isn’t the education system. American culture celebrates a proud level of ignorance. I see it here all the time.

        I suspect that’s an effect of the under-education of our country. A more functional education system would probably produce fewer proudly ignorant people.

          Nah I grew up rich. My public school was ranked among the top ten in the nation at the time. It still produced a lot of dummies that have great jobs in finance and business.

          It isn’t under education. It is the cultural celebration of individualism in the face of the advice from the relevant academic sectors that is an issue. I know too many people here who will agree with the phrase “The experts don’t know what they are talking about” while overlooking the fact that they lack the education or experience to make that call.
