Is it? Or are you mixing up "demographic" with "ethnicity"? People who are raised in an environment that does not promote individual thought (like overly religious or politically one-sided groups, or any setting where tribal mentality is dominant) will not have access to the same quality of information, and will likely be subjected to some kind of indoctrination. Adoption of the group's ideals may be forced by societal pressure, and resistance may be met with punishment. A child exposed to a constant rhetoric about how "those dang dirty democrats are stealing our tax dollars and lying about everything, believe your daddy" and no way to confirm or deny it will likely grow up to be an adult repeating that rhetoric. I know because I used to be like that, and it took massive conscious effort to unlearn it.

Also, I literally only know of Osho from that one clip and have no interest in researching a religious leader, reason above.

Osho was right. Successful democracy relies on the people's collective intelligence. Unfortunately, some demographics are running on a deficit of intelligence and/or factual information.

That's not the kind of diagonal I expected. I thought it would be something like this:

The problem is that this would remove ECT even as a desperate final option for treatment.

Sweden's just passed it, and Poland is very close to being the third. (edit) 4 hours later, Poland is third past the threshold.

Revelation is one of the most quoted judeo-christian texts, and I recently learned that it was written as a fanfic and it took the fandom a surprisingly long time to recognise it as part of the official lore.

Free does not mean "no payment, ever". If the source code and build toolchain are openly and completely available, but prebuilt binaries are paid-only, it still satisfies the "free as in gratis" criterion.

This. I've had issues at work while imaging classroom computers where some would finish in ~30 minutes and a few would need hours. All of the computers used Cat6 cables. This being a classroom, and students being absolute wankbags, they kept yanking the computers and kicking the cables, so the wires came loose from the plugs. I later used ethtool to debug the slow computers -- the switch would only allow 10baseT link modes.
