well I guess you dont live here, where the lvl of public education is each year worse, with so many strikes and shit; dumb ppl are easier to control and therefore some politicians here try their best to lower the lvl of education, maybe this doesnt happen in all the world but most undeveloped countires (lke mine) go throw this.
OFC with time ppl will get smarter and they will get to know more stuff but not everywhere, idk if you get what I mean... tell me if you dont so I develop a bit more
