Wise up?

Is there a specific society that's unusually ignorant? Are there a specific group of topics that people should be more aware of? Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.

Inform people that educating themselves is a crime, and watch them learn like crazy.
