I'm similar. I found out a few years ago I was donor conceived. My bio father is a doctor, and my mom has a doctoral degree. I think my donor probably gives me the high verbal IQ, but my spatial intelligence is probably average or below average. I also grew up in a social environment where a lot of high brow conversations took place, but where I was taught to question narratives about everything. A lot of family is not "educated" in the traditional sense, which over time I've come to understand as a positive. However, being a skeptic about everything makes it hard to maintain social relationships, so I pretty much just gave up; no one wants to play the game on this level, or very few.
Most people don't want to talk about what's really going on, getting into the facts and details. It's mainly MSM political talking points or Netflix shows.
I'm gonna go on a rant here. It really comes down to the balkanization of information that starts with the education system. John Taylor Gatto has some great work on this. Our society is based on the Prussian model of operant conditioning. School is divided into distinct "subjects" but these are never put together into a cohesive whole. The bells even delineate when one area of inquiry stops, and the students are shuffled to another area where a different area of inquiry begins. The origins come from when the Prussians were defeated by the Grand Armee of Napolean. The Prussians sought to stratify their society in a such a way that this could never happen again.
The Germans had a distinctive medieval and militaristic bend, due to 100 years of religious warfare and skipping most of the Enightenment. With the new behaviorist science of Wundt, Pavlov, and others they figured out that the best way to make people compliant in a system was to use reward/punishment rather than using the building blocks of grammar, logic, and rhetoric that was taught to the elites from the time of Hermes, through Plato, and on up through the Church. The aristocrats were on top, and then a 2% class of "managers" who were educated in the elite schools, and then a class of 98% that were "workers."
The complete shattering of the education system in this way, which the US and others have adopted, with a Marxist overlay on top of it that has destroyed the family and religious systems has made any real pushback impossible. What's left if you've blown out reasoning from first principles and the reinforcement from a society based on values? Seems to me it's mindless entertainment and base level fulfillment: if it feels good, well then it must be right. The complicated details of how to run a society are best left to that 2% managerial class that went to Harvard, Yale, MIT, Columbia, etc.
The masses lack of involvement in shaping values and thought has led us into this mess. Even the churches have been infiltrated by this madness since the Rockefellers created the World Council of Churches. The medical profession has the AMA, the CDC and others; law has the ABA, and academia has gatekeepers that hang tenure over wrongthinkers heads. This hasn't happened by accident: we are seeing the zombification of our society (and the entire world) on purpose. They want us to sit around talking about propaganda and mindless bullshit.
