Also, newsflash: most bright people in America work for a corporation. (One or the other.) Most corporations would gladly support a QAnon candidate. Does this mean most bright Americans support QAnon? 🤔
(I'm holding out the thin reed that bright Americans can get their sh*t together.)
If this sounds a bit stark, consider that one of the corporations with the highest concentrations of bright Americans actually gave birth to QAnon.

It's hard to disentangle the strands of behavior that cripple our ability to think, but a lack of information is not the main barrier to reason for anyone who flies 2x month. Closer to the @rejuvenist point: addiction.

Also, in the Western economic model, the concept of 'responsibility' (to anyone, to oneself, to an idea, even) was jettisoned 40 years ago. In a meritocratic system, bright ppl rise to the top of this model and absorb a 10x dose of the norms.

It's easy to pin the blame for living in a sea of gibberish on Milton Friedman, but he's been dead for 14 years. After a while it's like blaming Mussolini for fascism. They're gone. Understanding how their ideas take root in another set of people is what matters now.
