    Well yeah that’s a problem of course but that doesn’t negate the reasoning I stated in other areas of this thread.

    I’m not promoting trust in a central authority or government here that’s a separate problem that exists on an entirely different plane.

    Yes you who probably has some amount of critical thinking skills can do that. The majority of young generational individuals today, cannot. Which largely negates the “well they should get gud” argument. It’s a systematic problem, you can’t solve systematic problems that way…

    I’m not going to repeat myself though, my last paragraph in the previous message is a fairly succinct tldr. This is a principal that’s been applied and works across industries, and is critically important for building “safe systems”

    Safe systems being systems that are designed to be operated and interacted with safely. There is a practical infinite number of safe systems that you can find examples of to further drive my point home. We can design systems that provide safety from human behavior and failings, the largest obstacle is usually both the political aspect and the aspect of individuals who refuse to acknowledge that safe systems are important.

      Lol if you think it’s the young people who can’t do critical thinking, I’d like you to take a look at the Trump voter base.
