You're right about a lot. I'm smart, with two degrees and being a conservative librarian, it blows my mind how they try to explain away fake news as being something other than MSM. I am inudated with lefties in my profession and have to tread lightly. However, they are oblivious to all the agenda spewing MSM narratives. I will say it's hard to red pill librarians. My wife is one as well as refuses to see the fraud. However, she also is one who would rather not go down rabbit holes and likes being naive.
I truly believe that those high IQ people are too smart for their own good. Not to mention people who have high IQ don't necessarily have high IQ street smarts. I think that's where i differ. I am smart but more real world street smarts than book.smart. not to mention I question everything.
I think the 'question everything' part is the key. It's like this happens, and then that happens, and then something else happens. They don't look at things cohesively, or who might benefit from specific actions and narratives. It's just hard for me. I am always skeptical about whether I'm right or not and that plays right into the normies hands too, because they are quite certain they are correct: the media and their social conditioning tells them every minute of every day that they are right. It plays hell with my mental health.
Your mental health and mine as well. But it keeps me going. I refuse to lay down as I want justice! Whether it's 9/11, the Egyptian Pyramids (way older than stated) or this. I want the truth. And maybe I can't handle the truth, but I'd still want it all out in the open for everyone to decide for themselves.

I think its easy for high iq people to lie to themselves or find a way to justify anything they observe.
