Science education peaked in the 50s when people still believed there need to be a balance between theory and experiments and that grounding theory with experiments is worthwhile.
It went all downhill from there. In the 70s and 80s experimental physics got a bad rap and I think this mindset trickled down to education. The turning point for me was the 1993 cancellation of the Superconducting Super Collider, where this tendency must have become obvious to everyone.
Not sure about your other points and what you conclude from a perceived improvement of STEM education, but I am convinced boomers and Gen-X enjoyed more solid scientific training than later generations.
It's all quite clearly collusion among a few dozen, hundred. No way their education/experience or data analysis engines have not made them aware.
They’re just used to Boomer and Silent Generation politicians blithely enabling them cause line go up for them when they do!
Curious to see how well it works on Millennials and GenZ; the elders were educated before STEM education had matured in a lot of ways. Younger generations have not had debunked fantasy rammed down their throat as scientific fact; Nostradmus types of the mid-late 1900s pointing at some ignorant math assuming it's true because it's written in a scientific notation! Duh!
Science education of the past gave rise to thinkers like the Oceangate CEO. Nihilists who figure there's no such thing as forever and we all die anyway; so YOLO no matter who I take down with me.
