Because smart people are often more easily convinced with words than reality.

Sophist

  1. One skilled in elaborate and devious argumentation.
  2. A scholar or thinker.
  3. Any of a group of professional fifth-century BC Greek philosophers and teachers who speculated on theology, metaphysics, and the sciences, and who were later characterized by Plato as superficial manipulators of rhetoric and dialectic.

Today's "top" university minds, at least in the gender studies departments, are sophists. Plato had it right, and paying them to educate our kids is a worse ROI than if we just set fire to the money.

I think it is an antiquated correlation to associate intelligence and academia in the modern age. The proper correlation is agreableness. The quality of sheep. Universities are filled with sheep.

Correct. That's a big problem. Free thinking is overridden with propaganda with the secret hope that all people actually stop thinking for themselves.
