Nope. Education is our own responsibility. Leave it to the state or organisations and get brain-raped. Teach yourself, teach your kids, teach your friends etc. For the most part we need to purify our own knowledge and learn to learn on our own.
You are right about critical thinking and such.
I disagree that people should be left to educate themselves in isolated communities. What happens when our communities clash on important issues? Instead we should agree on what should be taught in schools and work on regulating it and making it self-improving.
I agree that bureucacy and corruption will inevitably have an impact, but whichever way I think about it, not caring as much for your stranger man as for your family or friends is what allows the mind-rape in the long run, and that makes it necessary for us to globally educate people on at least that, so we don't end up where we are now.
