Interesting little phenomena I observed, Anti-science is on a raise, and attacking scientific system and replacing it with cults of lie (not even conspiracy sometimes) is being normalized, this is alarming as people often don't trace deep into lies to find the holes.

I have two guesses as why this is happening, one natural and one systematic one, in science, simpler solution is often the accepted one, but let's look at both for sake of simulating how the other party thinks

1. As domain of science grows, and people do not need science as much, shifting to tricks for making money/survive in system, they would stop learning and understanding, they don't care about the truth, as they are hedonically chasing whatever gives them money, and therefore pleasure

so they never learn anything deeply. System actually punishs learning as a lot of mental exercise won't be used to become a wealthier man, in mid classes, in fact, it worsen stress sometimes, as one will see all the ways things can go wrong,

To be a more knowledgable person, which is only useful for self and being a better citizen which is also, pillar of democracy, as people vote, is not rewarded, so the tighter work margines get, people lose the ability to analyze to compensate and look into fallacy and paradoxes to cope, finding

Simple answers, to fill the gaps just barely, and have an answer for everything, overtime, a full critical thinking paralysis will occur, and as the majority of the rich is not the thinker, rather the astrology lady next door.

And unfortunately, thinking frameworklessly won't get us far, as truth can only be built by avalanches of other truthy statements (as far as I know) and if your axiom is a lie, you go down the wrong hill

By midclass not knowing much, I mean general knowledge as they don't afford the time to learn anything out of their field, as if they do, they might get replaced by sb, who study deeper in their own field, sorta like a colony of ants, but more social force and less DNA related. As time feels short
