There is no scarcity at all in access to scientific knowledge, technology, investing in the market, or access to guidance on how to get ahead in life. And the only capitalist gatekeeping is some few formalized online schools ask for a pittance in tuition in order to receive credentials. But no one can say there's a scarcity in access to knowledge when MIT offers most of their catalog online for free. The problem is how few people take advantage of this wealth of access and knowledge. |

The problem is how a profit-seeking knowledge-enclosing/commoditizing capitalist economy and education system allows the propertied class to control the supply of technical labor.
The problem is that many in the working class don't have a methodological literacy.
"The researchers note that it’s tough for lay audiences to fully understand complex topics [...] They suggest a more sustainable solution for curbing misinformation is helping the public develop a type of scientific literacy known as methodological literacy. People who understand scientific methods and research designs can better evaluate claims about science and research, they explain."

imo we won't see many positive changes until we abolish silicon valley and the western-led intellectual property regime. liberate science and technology from capitalism.
