    Duped out of an education that prioritises critical thinking skills by decades of vested interests.

    I used to think that “the best way to have a controlled population is to have poor education” was a bit of a conspiracy theory in the 20th century. The 21st has corrected me on that one.

      I agree. It sounded very conspiratorial in the beginning, but many of these people have expressed their preference for uneducated people now.
