Im pretty skeptical "the people" are smart enough to control their own destiny anymore. We've deprioritized education wo heavily in the US that it may be better to have a ruling class of corporations and elites. At least you know where things stand and how they'll operate.

Given that the outcome of that so far has been to deprioritize education so heavily in the US that one becomes skeptical that the people are smart enough to control their own destiny anymore while simultaneously shoving the planet towards environmental calamity, I’m not sure doubling down on the strategy is the best bet.
