I've learned way more about human psychology than I ever wanted to throughout all this. 80% of people are easily brainwashed and go along with the majority rather than thinking for themselves. One of the most shocking things I learned was the fact that people with very high IQs are actually MORE susceptible to brainwashing. I'm guessing it has something to do with being know-it-alls and wanting to be the first to have all the "facts". I also trust my own intelligence more now.
