Brooks column today points out that the more highly educated you are, the stronger your beliefs, one way or the other. Got more intellectual baggage. Have a set of tools that work. Tools acquired by work and sacrifice and thus have an emotional commitment. That they may not be suitable for tasks they're applied to is not immediately obvious. Less educated don't have that handicap. But since their native intelligence is, overall, about the the same as educated folk, they will grasp at whatever tool seems to work. Quite often that tool will be unmediated reason seizing the facts at hand. No emotional commitment to tools makes it easier for them to change their minds. frank@theoryvsphenomenology.com
