I wouldn't worry about this too much. The far bigger problem, in my view, is that people do not examine the evidence available that counters all the official narratives.
Worse, they have no skills to do so. and believe that only a person anointed "expert" by the mainstream possesses the skills to render a judgement, and that such judgment may not be questioned by anyone for any reason.
Worse, they live in atavistic fear of a world where the grownups are not taking care of running it's affairs, as they have no confidence in themselves to cope with it otherwise.
Worse, it is beyond the power of their imagination to believe that they are being deceived on such a grand scale, and they simply lack the ability to conceptualize it, let alone evaluate the evidence.

Yes the dumbing down of critical thinking skills in education is intentional.
As Carlin stated they want people dumb enough to not question anything but smart enough to run the machines.
