This has to be one of the most ignorant posts I have ever seen, and being in education, I am very interested in working out how an adult who has been through a pandemic can end up so ignorant.
The first thought is obviously illiteracy, but this poster does seem to be able to read and write. They can't be fully literate, but they do seem to be at least partly so.
The second thought is innumerate, and I suspect this is also part of the answer, as they are clearly incapable of appreciating probabilities and obviously adding, subtracting or multiplying them is completely beyond them.
The third thought is how did they get through compulsory education with so little understanding of science,? and for this I actually blame the exam boards, who have made rote learning a way of getting through to at least middle grades, without any actual comprehension of the material
There is the total failure of critical thinking, but that again I would put down to the science education, as there is very little critical thinking in the UK education system, and again, the science exams are set up to favour rote learning for the middle and lower grades, rather then critical thinking.
But it does go beyond all of these things, and I can't help but feel some of this ignorance is wilful, and a deliberate choice, and of course there will always be people who chose deliberate wilful ignorance, look at Trump supporters in USA! and there is nothing that can be done about that - in a free country, people have the option of deliberate, wilful ignorance if they choose. In that sense, there is really nothing that even the best education system in the world could have done to help
