I have mixed feelings. "Educating the masses" is important, at least to a certain baseline, otherwise we get failing democracies due to manipulation of uneducated voters.

But it's important to still have a separate track for the best students. Those will grow up to do the important work and move the society forward. If you put them into a mediocre class it will waste their potential.

> due to manipulation of uneducated voters.

Educated voters are manipulated as well, it is just a different kind of manipulation, and in many countries they represent a small part of the electorate.

Are people typing Bitcoin addresses by hand? Aren't they far more likely to c&p a spoofed Bitcoin address?

Shameless plug: we created an OSS "Clipboard Firewall" for Windows [1] to protect against those attacks but feel free to fork it.

IMO Apple should provide the user with audit logs of which photos/videos were accessed by each app. It might be a long list but it alleviates doubt and would put huge pressure on reputable developers to ensure they don’t get caught doing things the user wouldn’t have expected (even if the user technically allowed it).

In the iPhone you can select which photos are accessible by apps.
