Unfortunately, it's adults who get to make all the important decisions,
and many of those adults aren't much more humble - if anything, they're
more obstinate in saying "yes, the world is flat, if it was round, [...]".
At least kids have open minds, for the most part. It's only when they've
been filled with the ignorance and hate of those who believe that their
beliefs supersede actual knowledge and learning that their minds close.
