We live in a time when people tell enormous lies and masses accept them, no questions asked. That ship has sailed and sank to the bottom of the sea.

I agree with the top comment -- critical thinking skills and a base of essential knowledge is the most important thing to teach our young.

While I do agree with this, I don't think assignments made by humans are immune to this either. There are assignments I had that contained bias and errors. Some I caught but I'm sure there's plenty I didn't.

All lessons are made by neural networks. (Mostly biological).

Much more serious than the small lies are the big lies that the neural networks in one group teach their children about the neural networks on the other side of the ocean.

I wonder if all of this high technology will ever result in better communication between neural networks. Within a generation or two, it should be possible to instantly transfer high bandwidth neural activity globally. I wonder if this will change things.

Blatant lies fool no one.

Subtle ones fool every one.

Part of the assignment here is to identify those lies and correct them.
