Allowing the midwits to discuss great societal and philosophical questions was and always will be a mistake.
They're for tilling fields, doing assembly line jobs, moving things from here to there and back, not discussing geopolitics and major societal implications.
Once the highest concepts are dumbed down, society follows, the greek poleis or the romans faced the same issues, once their best men died and the lowest tier ones were forcibly raised in their ranks to foll the void.
Because you cannot have higher principles while most of your demos is completely unable to understand those, society adapts to the flux of ideas being "exchanged" (lowest common denominator).
So you seek a different, lower medium, es. consumerism.
Simple one, take one shiny, spend it on various something not-so-shiny, rinse and repeat forever.
