The problem is that many of the most highly educated people are the ones fully supporting censorship in the fight against disinformation. Higher education has become a bastion of illiberal ideology.

I think it’s because once you educate yourself, you see how the masses behave and it’s like the ultimate revelation.
They are consumers. Feeders. They want to be told what to think.
Most people don’t even have an internal monologue and many people say they don’t even think much, not even a thought.
You thought for yourself. You used your brain. But you are outnumbered. Vastly.

Just because some education implementations have problems doesn't mean education itself must be excluded from the solution.
Public education and universities played a large role in freeing me from generations of magical thinking and religious indoctrination.
