I have a plan: we pass a law that any contract intended for the public (ToS, various other terms and conditions, privacy policies, etc) must be at the average reading level of the American public. We'll either incentivize better education or better contracts. Maybe both!
Doesnt matter if it's in kindergarten level reading, as long as it's a few paragraphs long, people will accept it.
Or standardize agreements that can be agreed to with just clicks so you can tell what's up from just seeing which agreement modules are included and what parameters they have (along with a bunch of sites that explain them in easier terms for the less literate, which will be useful because they are standards used by many agreements rather than needing a unique one for each version of each document).
