Humans are social animals who want to belong. And despite popular belief being in college/university doesn't make you smarter: you're a impressionable 20 year old with approximately zero life experience. Ready to be moulded in whatever shape woke culture demands.

It was rather sobering to me who believed that those who attend university are curious intellectuals ready to challenge and be critical.



The social rewards for fitting in are better than being right.

It's not really a surprise.

See case of man that discovered handling corpses and delivering babies afterwards was causing lots of baby deaths.

His reward was being declared insane and dying prematurely.
