You've given a very accurate account and there is nothing in your opinion (or rather facts. It is a very factual opinion) that I disagree with here. But I think I did not make my point clear enough. My main contention was that governments never take it upon themselves to take the necessary measures and educate their ignorant masses. This is because governments work strictly on the principle of self-interest and I scratch your back, you scratch my back. Altruism is not a trait that can be found in government. Therefore, governments stay away from actions and policies that they in no way can benefit from.

There is no doubt that if quality education were to become common for all, a lot of the rotten practices prevalent in our society will diminish. There is no room for debate there. But the point that I am trying to make is that the day will never come when the government starts doing something about it. Going back to Europe, their enlightenment came when people learned to educate themselves. It wasn't the government which was suddenly infused with a passion for public service. It was the people. That's not the case now, as you have pointed out how education is free in a lot of European countries. But this wasn't the case then. In fact, it is exactly due to the wave of enlightenment that swept across the public, a wave that was incidentally created by themselves in the first place, that the government made itself subservient to the public. And in doing so, the public ensured that their necessary requirements were met, and as we can see all over Europe today, they have succeeded, with widespread quality education and institutions present in Europe this day.

tl;dr: The spark that transformed Europe was public in origin, not governmental. While it would be the best thing in the world if government took steps to provide decent education to its public, you and I both know that's never gonna happen. Here is the crux of the Messiah complex.
Well said @Benighted and @NaNoW

I'd go one step further and say that it is not particularly education itself that transforms a public but the idea that education is also a part of their basic human rights. Education doesn't guarantee a moral society, e.g look at Germany in WW2, one of the most educated societies on earth and then just look at the atrocities they carried out. The sense of moral dignity and accepting the fact that things that don't make sense and do not fit on the scales of fairness and justice, should not be tolerated, is in my opinion what causes a revolution to begin.

That there is the most basic of truths that any man regardless of education can understand - that some things are inherently right and some are evil and it is why most revolutions started with peasants, farmers, illiterates.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
