The medium is the message. The human condition, systems in place and power structures determine how we manifest our societies and treat our planet going forward. We cannot teach people things they cannot understand. And people cannot fight power structures they do not understand. All humans, in general, are massively undereducated, IMO. E.g. if you start trying to understand existentialism and Zen at 20, you will probably not really see it in your minds eye until you are 30. Abstract concept. So the only solution, IMO, is massive education. Forget who is smart, or not and who is a good teacher, or not, and just start building a massive public school system. Whatever it takes to educate everyone to the max. We need to take a page out of the Jewish and Japanese book. They educate everyone. And educated folks are almost always liberal and know what needs to be done. Know what needs to be done as well as we humans can know it.
