But then Dunning Kruger comes into it. How many people cling to the “there are only two genders because I learned that in basic biology” without understanding that more advanced biology shows that it is more complicated than that.
Not saying there shouldn’t be math and science in school, I think there should be for sure, just pointing out the other side of teaching just a basic level of something.
A lot of people are unable to update their knowledge. And are unwilling to seek it.
The people saying “muh two genders hrr” are merely trying to rationalize how they feel. It might just be that they lack empathy.
Either because they haven’t encountered others different from themselves or they were never taught empathy.
School should encourage people to be curious, sceptical, and seeking knowledge. I wonder how we turn curious kids into blase idiots in just a few years…
