The 5g conspiracy craziness are but the latest example showing that a civilization's technological progress is hard-limited at any given time by the quality of education a median member of the society has received.

I see what you did here!
@rysiek
So how do we educate 51% of the society?
@wolf480pl well. We should educate them well.
The problem is that education needs to work on different levels. There's baseline education provided by schools, and there's education on particular topics. The former is pretty good, the latter has been abandoned completely, at least in UK and Poland. There were no public campaigns in either country on any of the controversial topics for decades. This battle was lost by walkover.
So what you end up with is a society where a kid can sing historic variants of washing powder ad songs because they see it 10x per day in all communication channels. But all their knowledge about vaccines is based on hearsay they mom discussed at home because she read it on Facebook... because nobody else wanted to tell her more about it.
