[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a few people who turned out this way, including my ex. All very smart and well educated. There are two common traits that I can point to. One is a very black and white thinking, no grey whatsoever. E.g., if you can’t give a 100% guarantee that X is safe, it means that X is unsafe, and how dare you? The other is that they ARE probably smarter than an average person and they have an independent streak which leads them to center their identity around “not being a sheep” and believe they can “do their own research”, etc. Add the internet echo chambers in the mix, and there you go. [/quote] This is such an apt summary. The latter doesn't even need to morph into a Naomi Wolf, not being a sheep, etc. They simply see themselves as smarter than others and only trust others' opinions if they attended a similar or more highly ranked UG institution.
