      This’ll only happen once education is restructured almost entirely. Critical Thinking has not been on the menu for a long time (if ever), and it’s not in the interest of the Powers That Be to increase critical thinking in individuals - people who really think tend to ask relevant, but uncomfortable questions.

      Conspiracy theories are a side-effect of biased education.

        Are you suggesting that we should get rid of education to make people less susceptible conspiracies?

          Yes, 100% my point! Who needs to know stuff when the Government and rich people are already looking out for our best interests? Poverty is a non-issue, everyone owns 2.5 houses per capita, this is a utopia! Books just ruin everything!

          /s.

          … once education is restructured almost entirely.

          Not sure how you got “get rid of” from that statement…
