    Information has always been controlled, obscured, and distorted by capital, hegemony., etc. Not to mention nonstop brainwashing from birth.

    For example… Where I live, kids still grow up worshiping flags, enslavers, enslaver pacts, capitalism, etc… And the state is increasingly denying them access to the internet/phones, alternative information, etc.

    “You can’t deny science when you have a radio made by science and see all the electronic”

    Turns out, once radios are complex enough, you don’t see the electronic anymore

      We lost something big with the transition to digital, and that’s DIY hardware built entirely from discrete components.

      Nowadays, everything uses a microcontroller.

              i actually interpret it different. it’s not about being too complicated.

              it’s about the fact that you can’t fundamentally prove that physics behaves in a certain way. You can only observe it. And you can hope and pray that god doesn’t fundamentally change the laws of the universe tomorrow. So, in some sense, it’s magic. Also it’s kinda weird in some way that the universe works the way it does. It’s kinda just a random expression of divine thought, or a miracle, idk what you call it, but some call it magic.

    Lack of education and critical thinking. Which people thought was because of the lack of available access to information. Yup, turns out even with access to knowledge people still wont bother to educate themselves.

    Now they are blaming educators because they are voluntarily ignorant, we lead the horse to water but we cant make them drink…doesn’t help when they want to call educators racists for trying to encourage a postive self image or dare I utter the taboo phrase, social awareness…
