      What I’ll never fully understand are the ostensibly capable knowledge workers that believe the shit Trump says. Our web admin hurts my heart. “Dude, I know you know how to fact check.” In their case, it’s just Christianity.

          Lol I made a comment to another engineer at work that was something like “idk how an engineer could ever be religious due to the fact many think logically”

          Turns out he was very Christian oops

        Intelligent people can also be indoctrinated into a cult. Probably only takes a bit longer.

      Hmmm I wonder how accurate this is. It’s very hard to believe that 75% of Americans read below a 6th grade level. Not sure if that’s a testament to how good 6th graders read or not. Or is that 54% inclusive of those that are also illiterate?
