You're quoting this again as if it isn't critically damning to the position you're trying to convey. As though you actually believe the existence of ignorance is a logical excuse to continue perpetuating ignorance.
If only some facility had existed in that elementary school teacher's life that had instilled those skills in a way that it wouldn't be a joke?
I don't know, maybe like some sort of centralized institution where you can go to gain knowledge about basic concepts you might encounter when interacting with society. Some sort of... societal mechanism for ensuring people are competent enough to interact with their world.
Can you think of something like that?
> By obliquely and sarcastically referring to the teaching institution you have convinced me. Well played.
Well, having it stated plainly for you clearly hasn't done the trick. Sometimes different approaches are needed!
