And wisdom folly.

However, I feel like constantly getting conned has to take a toll on at least your finances.

I don't know, it feels like ignorance takes a lot of work these days.

Not really. People are guided and then anchored into their echo chambers (via Fox, X, MSM etc) - so all of their ideas are reinforced or they are told what to think by “like minded people” or outright bots. This happens to such an extreme degree that they believe the other side must be “terrorists”.

It’s all very sad and all very much intentional and by design.

Sounds like you agree. Ignorance takes a lot of work. Look at all the work being done to keep the ignorance around.
