because from there, you either drown, or turn around, lift yourself up, and get help.

Seems like most Americans would rather drown

I think it's really a failure (or sabotage) of public education. People just don't know things, and sometimes because no one told them. Or didn't show them in a way that resonates emotionally.

Like, you can tell people that there was polio but that's just like your opinion man.

I partly blame YouTube et al for letting garbage proliferate on their platforms, too.
