It’s YouTube music, which is showing popular “podcasts” on its explore page. Must be just because it’s popular because nothing in my algo on either youtube or YouTube music would suggest this shit.

    But this is because of the naivety and lack of critical thinking skills. Not because they are young.

    Rather, because public education has been gutted to prevent kids from being taught such skills.

    And even more egregiously, taught to be incurious. To not ask questions. To obey.

      This is not just because of public education gutting. It’s a worldwide phenomenon, even in places with the highest ranked public schools on earth.

      the simple truth is bombarding someone with a certain way of seeing the world makes them more likely to see the world that way. It’s propaganda, plain and simple.
