Curiosity is not the defacto base, it needs to be reinforced and rewarded by the local and familial culture. Sure, a small percentage of nerds always exist. But how long do you stay a nerd if you are never taught to read?

That has to be related to the fact that you encounter people on a daily basis who cannot distinguish fiction from reality.
They watch movies and they treat what they're viewing as a documentary of events that happened to a guy they've never met.

It's because their whole ideology is based on hierarchy. By making them look like dorks, you diminish their status.
We never properly dealt with the fact there are two radically incompatible moral systems with power in the US. Just a 150 year long truce.

I've given DSA shit in the past, but now I realize their only failing is not existing 20 years earlier.

Yeah, read that again. They are effectively immune of they are conducting 'reasonably' within their orders.
Read up on how courts define 'reasonable conduct' for every other law enforcement.
