The real problem* is that we've had an educational system that has been training people in how not to think because actual good reasoning is inferior to following authority at spreading progressivism - then when people have to actually think they have no practice at it

Every covid control method has failed on exactly this - people have no practice or ability to actually reach reasonable conclusions. "We followed the procedures set by experts" is good reasoning only if you believe that "believe experts" is the way to truth

"Believe experts" isn't good epistemology - it's a mind virus for a memeplex that has "infiltrate and use expert voice to spread this memeplex". Being able to think correctly is a habit - analogize it to training a ML network if you must - most can't just turn it on and off.

There's always going to be a certain percent (probably majority) of the pop who wants to listen to priests/experts (from either laziness/inability/ignorance). If you want the power gained from this, you must be perceived as such. I doubt that factor's going away.

Of course, it's adaptive for most - most people aren't the smartest or even in the top 5% so offloading a lot of thinking to those who are is good practice. Give that, the system needs the top men to think well and it actively blocks that through training and selection.
