Credentials are not intelligence. Degrees are not discernment. And academia has produced an entire caste of delusional elites who mistake memorization for mastery.
The latest data confirms a stunning inversion: the more years spent in formal education, the higher the odds of overestimating intelligence — and rejecting common-sense truths. It’s not just a problem in ivory towers. These are the people running media, policy, and tech — convinced of their brilliance, and blind to their biases.
This isn’t a win for ignorance. It’s a correction. A reminder that genuine intelligence isn’t measured in diplomas — it’s tested in results. And right now, the test scores are in.
The experts failed.
