It's not the only means, but it is an important facet.

Those fields are valid as well, but all fields should be studied vigorously, even ones you are not a professional in. Every teenager should have read the Greeks, and everyone over 20 should have read all the major philosophers.

I don't think they can care because the education isn't available to them. If it were I think some would, and others wouldn't. There are some people who are fine with living a life devoid of intellectual activity. Which is fine with me, someone needs to clean the toilets.

It's called a public library. Do you see poor people checking out Spinoza and Descartes much?

Toilets can be cleaned by machines, and even if they couldn't, even toilet cleaning should be forced to think critically.

I don't think it's fair to expect most poor people to be suddenly decide to study philsophy with no knowledge of it's history or importance before hand. It's not like someone told them what it was and how it could be interesting and useful in their lives, they probably just had a cursory explanation of it in their shitty school.

I mean there are going to be outliers whose intelligence drives them to seek this knowledge without any kind of provocation, but they're in the minority. Most people who seek these things out have someone who at least pushes them in the direction.

Also, why should someone be forced to think critically? Why does it matter if some people are inclined not to be intellectuals? Why can't someone be allowed to live a simple life?

Because when 99% of humanity thinks critically instead of 1%, then society will move beyond our shitty paradigm of consumerist-buzzword-nihilist swamp. Everyone will be able to be reasoned with on a sophisticated level, and we will be able to alter and improve our world decisively.

I'm speaking of a far more critical education than what passes for 'educated' today, which is basically just about occupational usefulness. A group of thousand people who are intimately familiar with 2500 years of philosophy are not nearly as likely to act with mob mentality, and they will certainly require more substantial bullshit than the slogans marketing and politics tend to use.

Exactly, consumerist-buzzword-nihilism isn't all voodoo marketing tricks. That shit is rooted in human behavior, reward, and social reward systems. Its 'abuse' of hardwired biology.
