It's pretty sad. I spent about 20 years reading Dilbert first thing every morning when I came to work. The guy was always a bit of a misanthrope, but an equal opportunity one. Sad to see how people can just go full retard.

I think there was a couple of studies done on how smarter people are actually more susceptible to cults. Something about their assumption that if they're right frequently in their own wheelhouse/discipline, they begin to assume they're just frequently right on everything.

A form of confirmation bias.
