This history has not been taught, because it has not been prioritized.
To whom do we teach this history, and when? Kids up to high school might not be the best audience, what with them still coming to grips with learning titles like Handmaid's Tale, 1984 and Brave New World. Institutes of higher learning may get a better shot at explaining this subject matter properly, but it won't reach the masses.
I'm also a Reaper user. I think I may be getting close to having too many free plugins. I need to pitch the ones that aren't getting used.
