The reason they make you do group project at school is as a preventative measure against falling into conspiracy theories as an adult. The vast majority of the population can and will come out of the experience with a much better understanding of just how goddamn impossible it is to make multiple people do what they were supposed to do, everything they were supposed to do, and nothing but what they were supposed to do. You can’t make five people do that, and yet billions of people are keeping this supposed machine rolling?
I agree that it is a helpful preventative measure
But I don’t agree that schools do it on purpose for that reason
Because that would require school officials to be capable of 1. working together cohesively to plan something for an agreed-upon reason, and 2. keeping their true reason a secret from the general population
