Simple reason why a large proportion of the population aren't interested in astronomy.....
50 percent of the human population are in the bottom half of the distribution of numerical values of individual human intelligence, and these people, through no fault of their own, are genetically unable to understand information of moderate complexity.
It has become a popular and standard belief that people are "equal", but this is actually a moral position held by the opinion makers in our society;
the only problem with this position is that it is not in accord with the facts.
