      It seems to work on apparently smart people too, but they lack skepticism or a critical thought process.

      Two colleagues who are amazingly intelligent fell for the propaganda, and still do. It baffles me. Even when I present facts they seem really confused.

          Either they’re finally showing their true colors, or they’re not as smart as theykeep telling you they are.

          I had one who always claimed how bright and well informed he was, bragging about how instructed his kids to always be skeptical.

            Its not them telling me they are smart, its me witnessing them grasp stuff faster than anyone I know and have massive insight into things, and yet there is this part of them that has a tremendous blind spot
