>For all sorts of reasons, including having something to talk about when on a date
If that's the reason they could come up with for one being informed, I'd hate to live in that society...
>And all those reasons are bullshit. Being informed has had zero positive impact on me.
Being informed is not about having impact on the person being informed. Is about the person being informed having an impact themselves, i.e. being an active member of society. Today this is reduced to voting once every few years (if that) for most people (which is a mockery of being a citizen), but being informed is important even for that.
