I blame children's ignorance on the type of isolated socialism I observe all
around me, every day. It used to be if a child wanted to learn how to hunt
he would visit the master hunter of the tribe. If he wanted to learn to
make tents he'd visit the tent maker. In tribes usually the children are
brought up by the community, not just by their parents. If the communities
would become less isolated and more socialite then we should be able to
raise more educated children.
The question is how to do it. I would suggest many neighborhood social
events. Of course I don't have resources for this nor the time to assemble
people and require the resources so I really can't talk much.
