Absolutely! I fear it’s too late for many boomers but the younger generations are in desperate need of this. In Germany a lot of younger people are voting for Nazis because they have the cooler TikTok content. It’s a total shitshow. Our schools are garbage regarding this. I know this because my wife is a teacher and she’s the only one taking this seriously in her school. All of her colleagues don’t see the need. It’s really bad unfortunately.
Tbf, democracies kinda always suffered from this problem.
The italian long-term prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was a comedian before going into politics. And so was english prime minister Boris Johnsson. In other words, they were used to catering to audiences, instead of having technical training. (IIRC)
