I WAS responding to your comment. You don’t need a PhD, or extensive reading to know the truth. What you need is common sense and a moral backbone. THAT’S what is missing in society in general. I have some experience with this. I had till recently a small business manufacturing. There were two kinds of people who worked for me: responsible and thoughtful; and, dumb as dirt and irresponsible. I didn’t need to do lots of training with the first but the second could not be taught no matter how much time you spent going over procedures and they WOULD NOT ask for help from someone that knew how to do what they needed to do. That is the current systemic societal problem. My undereducated Amish friends almost never get it wrong on any issue. Why? Because the have a strong moral backbone and common sense developed by hard work and challenging situations.
