A Schoolboy Error- How Come Educated People can be so Stupid?

There are two ways of looking at things. 1) Each human being is a clean cognitive slate or an empty vessel into which the commodity, education, is poured. The more in the vessel the more likely you are to think and vote correctly (Remain of course) and get it 'right'. Those with lower watermarks in their vessels can safely be considered as drones who are bound to get it wrong. 2) Education is merely a 'leading out' (as in the Latin sense of the word) of faculties that are already there in every human - to whit, the common sense and natural wit exhibited in bright children. This can mean that the relatively educated, in a formal sense, football stadium wit can show him or herself to be sharper than the graduate in Management Studies or some such and see instinctively, further into nature (in the form of his or her own nature) and Nature itself). This person may even be able to spot that academia, in all its cleverness, and the 'education' it now provides is labouring under a false model that goes against nature, economics and history and that this constitutes a schoolboy error that disqualifies its authority. He or she may even laugh at it.....
