At some point of time I came to the conclusion that Enlightment is the key.
It is not required to be an expert in everything, but to have a basic
consious understand is doable by 90%. If even 60% would play you have a
win.
Unfortunately I know many clever people, who are not intelligent enough to
understand how important it is to not buy and consume specific products.
So in my opinion it is also the problem that the consumers do bad in this
game. It even got worse with the younger who, as I said before, are not
thought logic at school and are damaged by parents, school and internet
nowdays.
I see parents the biggest issue here, because they should be those 60% that
give consious example to the kids. Unfortunately the reality is quite
opposite. It is hard to be one of the 10-20% and have authority infront of
the children if "everybody" is doing the opposite.
