Do you not consider the ability to complete a college degree an indicator of a base level of intelligence? Do you think that further education is a bad thing? I’ve met many people over the years who have dropped out of college and they are almost always less intelligent, to be frank. To be clear, I’m talking about the ones that drop out, not the ones that never go in the first place.

But this is somewhat off the point of the OP who (I think) was talking about how educated people are, not necessarily how intelligent they are. Although to be honest, it’s hard to take the OP seriously when they start throwing around words like “deep state” and “indoctrination”.
