RE: The lies we tell ourselves - the framing effect
The polarization of society spreads because of the lack of knowledge. Confirmation bias, cognitive dissonance and rational thinking is truly not understood, likely due to the education system being designed back in the days when it purpose was to produce good factory workers.
I think these subjects are still considered part of a psychology or social science syllabus, so only those in higher education have an opportunity to be exposed to it. You're right though in what you're implying: these topics should be taught to be understood because they have a big impact on our lives.
