some of the stupid-est and/or most dishonest people i've met had PhD's and/or MD's.

Of course. What is our education system? An indoctrination camp. A degree is proof of being indoctrinated. They make it a challenge and expense to attain degrees so that those who attain them are proud of their "accomplishment" and thus see themselves as superior to those who haven't.

Since it's difficult to achieve the false objective of paper intellect, the process weeds out many who lack perseverence. Some of these educated people do have the capacity to wake up. The key to unlocking their minds is to get them to question the very institutions who sold them paper degrees.
If you can get them to understand the Federal Reserve, the next step is to emphasize the fact that universities deliberately omit information about how the Fed really works.
I recently got an educated retired govt employee to admit that during the course introduction of an economics course, the Professor stated that "he was not going to get into the Federal Reserve".
