Education would be the long term answer - critical thinking etc - but that's very boring and can't be solved by a tech startup. Stupid people are easier to mold into preferred shapes so I would assume that less education is going to be the trend going forward.
Who would want that?
Don't you love talking big government liberals into a corner? They are so hell bent on pushing their agendas that their own talking points are dangerous warnings. Imagine thinking the government wants the population to be dumb so it is easier to control, and then saying they should control our healthcare and tax the rich to pay for further growth and dependency of these "dumb" people. If you believe the government is trying to dumb down and control the population, stop advocating for a larger government and more taxes. It's really that simple, but don't expect the braindead Trump hurt me crowd to accept reality anytime soon. They can't even figure out which bathroom to use...
