Giving poor people education makes poverty rates go down better than giving poor people money. Says science. We did the science. We keep doing that science. Nobody in privileged societies cares nor comprehends tho.

Wowow not a single of these studies compares and contrasts economic assistance vs educational! Besides it’s an intertwined issue. Economic investment ALSO equals funding for education?

Am I wrong? Does β€˜giving poor people money’ NOT mean funding for education? Why does it have to be either or? How do these studies contradict what I’m saying?

So I should go off my own anecdotal experience fallaciously? Nah, I don’t feel like doing that. Just gonna keep rolling with the empirical evidence I have now but thank you!😊

Exactly. You lack any "empirical evidence" a.k.a. life experience, therefore you are simply discussing things you don't know a thing about. Being so, let me share a bit of my own life experience with communism and radical left politics. But before, let me just clarify that my statement on "giving poor people education makes poverty rates go down" isn't contradicting your statement about 'giving poor people money' - despite this being merely an opinion without evidence (despite you ask for it upon other people's) One of the issues with socialism is that it misjudges people obviating the human inherent ability to express individualism in any given way. By this I mean that there is no way to standardize how a human is going to react when something is given to them.

They may, of course, make good use of it, but they also may use it to make unintended activities, respectively to their own life experiences and circumstances. People with drug addiction will never give good use to free money, the same goes for gamblers or people suffering from alcoholism, even someone who does not have the education to properly manage any given funds. In this sense, it is entirely impossible to correctly predict an effective decrease in crime rates, just by giving people money. Educate them on the other hand, and you will give them the resources and means to develop specific solutions to their specific issues (of which no one knows better than themselves) - give them education and they will thrive. Of course, we are also not so naive to think that simply by studying everything will be solved - because there are mafias and private interests in keeping people poor and uneducated, but this is a plausible terrific first step in a direction that involves growth, and human overcoming.
