>All you did was describe the fact that people who present as intelligent aren’t actually intelligent

This is false.

> I’m very well aware of a lot of people who are not subject to propaganda ... [for example] a monk

This supports my point. Monks are not known for trying to "stay informed" the way many people (yes, including intelligent people) do.

No all you need to do is view the world through the eyes of a 7 year old and ask why

This is just being a scientist at all possible levels of your life and it’s achievable

It doesn’t take any special capabilities to do

Monks are regular people too
