    It’s a problem of collective consciousness, the majority of humanity are about 30-100 years behind the bleeding edge of education and comprehension. It takes a long time to bring all those people up to speed. There’s a reason they say “Science advances one funeral at a time.” Because new lessons aren’t learned by old people, why would you relearn something you already know?
