Observing the moronial and gen zzzz generation, these days intelligence is in short supply, doubly so if college edumacated in anything non STEM and even then it is increasingly iffy.
When you have a society in which there is a mass proliferation of data (much of it deliberate misinfo, disinfo and agitprop) combined with an ongoing, deliberate effort to discourage critical thinking skills, we are left with people of all levels of intelligence making decisions and drawing conclusion based on erroneous data.
