There's many that believe that educated people are above having baseless beliefs. There's plenty of evidence showing that that belief itself is baseless too.

There's many that believe that educated people are above having baseless beliefs. There's plenty of evidence showing that that belief itself is baseless too. Funny that.
You can see this mistaken belief whenever people decry that there are "smart" people that believe dumb things outside their profession. Well, "dumb" people believe dumb things outside their profession too.
When it comes to believing this stuff, people tend to just be people. The "smart" get special attention because some of us incorrectly assume they should be immune to it. But they're obviously not.
