RE: THE WIKIPEDIA EXPERIMENT: Looking Under the Rug...
Hehe...isn't it awesome to have these young fresh faces with no life experience telling everyone how and what to think?...just too funny to me!

Very perplexing indeed. Goes to show how gullible us human beings are. We blindly believe way more than we should. Education systems, by design, have largely taken away our innate ability to question things (as very young children do) and use critical thinking. It's probably going to get ten times worse with smartphones and AI. Sad.
Based on how often I see teenagers or young adults crying about how useless/difficult Math is, which I think is quite important when it comes to logical/critical thinking, we will have a huge problem in 10-15 years. Also, people can be fooled everywhere thanks to not understanding simple correlations, numbers, statistics, etc. It's already happening, but it will be even worse. For politicians, this is awesome news.
Furthermore, they can be fooled by companies, banks, etc, easily to pay more without them even understanding why they pay more than they expected. Because as I said, they have difficulties when it comes to numbers.
Indeed, but don't limit yourself to teenagers and young adults, as this is the case even with most brain-dead adults!
Sure, I know it's not solely a young people problem. Just wanted to emphasize how the education is getting worse every year and what I see among students.
