If the students don’t want to learn, then it’s better that they don’t learn. They shouldn’t be forced to learn.
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or just don’t understand how fragile democracies are
democracies are stabilized through the workforce: people work and gain power that way. it’s not possible to shit on workers if they’re needed. if there’s ever a mass unemployment, that’s when you can expect democracy to crumble. i believe it has surprisingly little to do with schooling, actually.

I cannot imagine being comfortable with a democracy of dumbasses.

Isn’t the whole reason we know global warming is a problem because of academics?

Mandatory education. It is your moral obligation to not be stupid.

The funny thing is, academics did make the world aware that global warming was a problem but all the fearmongering did nothing to actually solve the problem.

What did solve the problem, however, was China subsidizing solar energy for 20 years to make it economically viable and cheap enough for the rest of the world to install it. And i guess they did so not for climate protection reasons, but for reasons such as energy independence, energy security, jobs programs, etc.

But how do you get here without people being intelligent?

I could tell you that incentive structures and power dynamics have to allow a good solution to materialize before it can, but an uneducated person couldn’t.
