You can lead a horse to water, but cannot make it drink. You can lead a fool to knowledge, but cannot make him think.

I'm tired of Covid-19, not the news about it, the reality of living with it. What a pity we had an administration in charge of this country, whose approach to dealing with a health crisis, was pretending it didn't exist. A competent president would have handled this better, and we would have been able to enjoy the summer, like Europe did, before the autumn brought a resurgence of infections.

@johnwang9914 No, education can repair ignorance, it cannot fix stupidity. Intelligence, like height, is a heritable quality. The real problem is people are not taught critical thinking at an early age, that is skill which can be taught. And what you are describing is not keeping people stupid, but ill informed and uneducated, like the slave masters who would not allow their "property" to learn to read.
