Highly educated people cannot possibly be desperate, mentally unwell, or disaffected? That&#x27;s also &quot;simply false&quot; and you say so yourself: &quot;You can be a rocket scientist and a religious idiot at the same time&quot;. You can be highly educated and a lot of things at the same time (which one would know from reading HN on a regular basis), but perhaps only the traits that fit your narrative are allowed.
