Can confirm that more education doesn’t always make you smarter. I took an astronomy class as an elective in college for an easy A. I distinctly remember someone in the class not knowing what caused seasons. They thought it was because the Earth was in an elliptical orbit. I pointed out that if that were the case we’d have two summers and winters a year across both hemispheres.

How the hell do you make it to college without knowing about the Earth’s tilt causing seasons? That’s like a “Bill Nye when there were still two genders” level of science.
