Some clever guy, can't remember who it was, once said that if there is a simple reasoning for something then it is more likely to be the correct one.
This whole article seems to miss the most obvious reasoning and that is that the education sector is absolutely dominated by left leaning people, therefore the more time you spend there the more likely you adapt to this or also the other way around, if you don't adapt to it well you are more likely to leave education as soon as possible for whatever you try to achieve.
Then there is also the fact that the highest education does not give the most wealth, in fact the most wealth comes from inheritance and for self made people more relevant than education is the time at which they started to "collect" wealth, which is later in life if they get higher education so they had less time.

- spencerflem 3y agoI do not think that your 'indoctrination' theory is either the most obvious, or correct. My (equally simple, imo) explanation is that critically thinking about the world and the people in it is both the main purpose of academia and far more of a left wing ideal.
