I do appreciate your idealist sentiment behind education and all, where truth is

It's true that the internet and libraries are available to most and most people perhaps do not use it all the time to seek facts or learn more. Laziness, the need to rely on easy answers and too many darn cat videos. Then again I recently read (listened actually) a book called "Factfulness" by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Ronnlund which basically showed through statistical facts that things are better that what we think they are. Not to say that there aren't places where things are really bad for certain people, minorities, animals and nature, but there are more than ever good things too and worldwide the average person has never been richer and better educated than now. Of course there certainly is less forests in the world than 100 years ago but deforestation we can not only blame the modern society and humans nowadays. It's just that today destroying nature is faster and easier and also we know the stuff that happens in the other side of the world almost instantly, if we choose so. The more knowledge, the more pain. Especially when the news agencies usually pick the tragedies, not those stories that basically say every day: "Today, everything is well, just like it was yesterday." The boring news.

But we know more than our parents and they know/knew more than their parents and so on. And the future is in the young people. And although there are efficient ways to influences us everyone, social information, ads, infoads, teachers, governments, incentives and sometimes laws, there are also plenty of ways to influence us with opposite opinions: misinformation, disinformation, corporate and politicians lies and propaganda.

But the ones that are young now, young adults and children, will be (most of them) better than what we ever were, know more and be wiser so although there are evil forces out there (oh, how fairy tell like, evil forces...) there are also wise young people who know better. I mean, we now know not to spray DDT on kids by the pool and also know that it's a good thing for a doctor to wash their hands before surgery. Especially if coming straight from the morgue.

But from the morgue subject to being well, I surely am well. And I hope you are too!
So until the next time, toodaloo!
