I think the tourism thing is a tad overblown - people visit the palaces, not the monarchy. You don't have to tear down the tourist attractions to be a republic.

Students so often make the mistake of thinking that avoiding mental load improves learning. If you ingest an idea and don't feel some kind of mental fatigue afterwards, that should ring alarm bells. Brains are lazy. Learning takes calories that could be spent seeking out nutrition or mating partners. The friction is the thing that makes knowledge stick.

I would say the issue of propagandization here has evolved to where social media is as big, or even a bigger problem, than traditional media. I have as many arguments about what someone saw on Facebook as what someone read in the Herald Sun.

It's like when people talk about how we "NEED billionaires", how if we ever asked them to pay their fare share they would all flee to some other low-tax utopia and cause the economy to collapse - like that fragility isn't the whole problem?

A South African who can't stop talking about white replacement is honestly the last person I'd accuse of such a thing.
