This isn't much of an issue when competing ideas are available. If your ideology is so crappy you have to "indoctrinate" people then in an open venue like a library your books aren't much more than a curiosity.

Step 1 of teaching people to uncritically accept crappy ideas is to remove all references to anything that contradicts them. Maybe it's time to revise your stance?

Our information ecologies aren't so straightforward as to always ensure the most rational ideas will always out-compete the irrational.

I agree that it's hard to see your own ideological commitments without seeing alternatives. Yet allowing any and all ideologies the same opportunities to compete for public attention is clearly problematic. You don't want to wait until flat-earth theories and holocaust denial go fully mainstream to start to nuance your no-standards policy.

In that case, how do you know the rational ones won out in you?

It's always other people getting brainwashed we worry about, right?
