gollark: The education system as currently extant doesn't really teach critical thinking though.
gollark: It selects for it because it's a working strategy, and politicians who say vague meaningless emotive things do better than hypothetical ones who try and just say facts.
gollark: Politicians can just go around spouting meaningless slogans and people vote for them. The system selects for it.
gollark: I spent a while rephrasing this, but whatever: ultimately, the stupid persuasive things politicians go around doing to get votes *do work* on people.
