Illiberal populism isn't going anywhere, unfortunately.
There's a loud minority, but I'm not sure it's more common than in the past. In fact, (Western) young people now tend to be highly educated and interested in things previously seen as stuffy.
So true.
People are forced into school to "learn how to learn". Yeah no shit, what happens is that many dont want to learn anything anymore.
I have to live in a bubble, because I really enjoy and often have discussions with many people about all sorts of things.
It's not. We'd still be hitting rocks if we were anti intellectual.
People will remain stupid. But I'm somewhat hopeful that in the next few decades we see AI develop enough that it truly constitutes superintelligence relative to us, and that the scalability of it tips the scales of the continual standoff between intelligence and stupidity forever.
Because I have little hope for humanity overcoming its own multiplying stupidity on its own.
