You can change a society in a generation—20 years. Hitler did it, largely through propaganda and controlling the education system. Then the Allies followed with the Marshall Plan and de-nazification.

In the meantime, can you elaborate on Ezra Klein’s book “Chapter 4 The Press Secretary in Your Mind?”
The experiments Klein discusses ask participants mathematical questions. When the questions are presented as straight math, answers are correct or incorrect corresponding to education level and talent. When the questions are asked with a slight political bias, answers correspond to the political biases of the participants. Those with higher levels of education exhibit even stronger inclinations toward incorrect answers reflecting their politicsl biases than those with less education. The experiment has been done in many contexts by different scientists with similar results. Klein observes that disagreeing wirh your friends incurs significant costs, but rejecting science is free.
