    I'm not sure that 'educated' would be the word I would use, as today, educated seems to be more 'indoctrinated' than thoughtful.  The more educated a person has been, the greater chance they are to believe in 'climate change,' lawyers, doctors, news anchors, actors and 'authorities.'

    History has shown most educated (like from the theological seminaries, such as the ivy league) to be propagating dupes, only able to parrot the brainwashing and disinformation they graduated from. Of course, there are exceptions. Sillik, genuflecting before the socialist gods (communism, fascism, wokeism, etc.), your concept of educated is very different than the noble free
