“You need teaching for writing and reading; even more so for life, as you are born a slave to your senses and passions, without true knowledge or reason.”
-Marcus Aurelius
One of the biggest problem with today's society is that we're swimming in information and most of it is false. The consumer of this information doesn't know the difference but still feels educated.
“If you have bad information, you’ll make bad decisions. It’s that simple.”
-Peter Drucker
The Internet is filled with studies on any conspiracy theories imaginable. Whether it be vaccination, secret societies, aliens, flat earth... there are groups of people that have dedicated their lives to further those claims. Whether or not they're true doesn't matter as much as they need to catch the attention as this is how they make money.
Education is important as long as it comes from reputable sources.
