We can win people back only by helping them realize the side they're on is ridiculous and uninformed.
But it has to be done right... Maybe some people are beyond convincing...
We need innovation to be on our side.

The Idiocracy is something the ruling class *wants* and actively tries to create.
They want oblivious servants to tend to their needs, sounds crazy, but that's something the modern internet can do...
But there are ways to fight back.

Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine all the people...
sharing cognitive architectures
instead of just
shouting conclusions at each other...
I wonder if you can...

It makes science too fractured even when all the right connections exist to make the right conclusions, they are disagreed upon because people have fractured ideas and ways they reached their conclusions.

The scientific community is falling down because there are too many people making these claims, and not enough people fact checking and rebuting, or if there are they go unnoticed because often what rises to the top is sensationalism.

And Universities are full of these half-assed paper pusher "scientists" and "researchers" who do not ask the right questions, or enough question, but are confident in the results, even though there are gaping flaws or missing data in the logic.

First of all they are purposefully written too long and drively, of course I do understand the need for percision etc, but!
Human brains are usually not well equipped to deal with it.
writing a paper =/= you are a proper scientist. Papers are way too often marketed as conclusive when they are not.

If they don't find a decent opposing view to it to correct the bullshit, they might start to slowly believe it...

It starts small at first, mixing in some flawed studies about gender politics, even if they notice, they respect you enough that they go along with listening,
even if they might be sceptical, even if they disagree at first...

Especially if you build credibility by actually saying some things that are wise enough. But then they start poisoning that wisdom little by little, adding propaganda that people won't bother to fact-check.

Wisdom by Slavoj Žižek:
Wisdom is the most conformist thing you can imagine. You know that whatever you do, a wise man will come and justify it.
