This statement is quite profound.
Even those of us who follow the news and the sciences are limited into what we can really understand of our complex.
It is indeed naive to assume that somehow the "less informed" will become more informed.
As you know I have an alternative democracy. In this democracy, everyone is still allowed to vote. So they are still connected to the outcome of who governs us.
But the votes of the "less informed" cannot be misled by lies. Rather the TDG reorients their outlook and provides a mechanism for them to cast a wiser vote. Even if they are less informed.
