Phd means heavily indoctrinated. The intelligent are not exempt from brainwashing and indoctrination.
I have a phd family member. He is completely delusional and has no concept of what's going on in the world. Though he's positive I'm insane and brainwashed. This, in spite if the fact that he has a 100% wrong track record and I'm in high 90% of accuracy. Yet his cognitive dissonance won't allow him to focus on why he is always wrong.
Introspection is only possible by the brave. Sadly, most people are cowards until forced to be otherwise.
My 11yo daughter says everyone in her primary school thinks Orange Man Bad. The MSM is very very powerful. They all believe in global warming, they are being taught it. I just tell her that not everything is true and she has to listen to me until she is old enough to think for herself.
The global warming thing is because of Greta. Kids always look up to and support kids their age when going up against adults. I was like that too when I was a teenager a very long time ago. They will grow out of it. They are just being supportive of their own even if they have no idea what the issue is.

Out of curiosity did your brother call you up when Soleimani was killed claiming that WW3 was about to start and Trump was illegally assassinating government officials? Ha... mine did. TDS is very real.

No. It was about a month ago maybe near the beginning of corona.
