Not all smart people have common sense. If it didn’t come from a book, it isn’t so.
I have met so many people with multiple degrees that were dumber than a box of rocks when it came to figuring things out and applying them to life. You also have the followers. Those are the ones that look up to the ultra-educated as “gods” and blindly follow anything they say is so, kind of like follow the science.
I have met so many working class people that never went past 8th grade that could out-think and out-reason people that have a lifetime of college debt.
Not all college grads are like this, especially the older educated ones, but I have seen mechanics, electricians, etc. stand back and openly laugh at some of the garbage younger engineers want them to do. Life is the best teacher IMO.
We will never change the educated know-it-all types or the people that follow them. I learned a long time ago not to believe anything I read and only half of what I see until I investigate and make up my mind. Even then, I can be, and often am, wrong. I will admit it though.
Great stuff thanks.!
