An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.

In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

And it is this way for a variety of reasons, be that lead in the gas and paint, or underfunded basic educational institutions, or overly profit-focused higher education.

Or political persons recognizing a dumb populace is easier to manipulate and make the road to power smoother.

The next phase is bringing back zealous doctrine. Time to replace the under-funded public schools with religious institutions, so that you are trained to follow faith blindly. Whatever “God(TM, a whoever corporation)” says will be the way forward. Of course, if you can pay the private school, you can be one of the wolves instead of the sheep.
