I would alter a few words for better clarity, as well as defining the last bits, thus:

"Educated" these days is synonymous with "Indoctrinated" or "Programmed response". An "education" is nothing more than a state driven indoctrination. You see this everywhere as proof: useless Gender studies over high-demand STEM studies, for example, and the decline in critical thought or the ability to question the obvious is in severe deficit.

Also, Intelligence is indeed the consciousness of the world around you, but Wisdom is the required trait to know how to navigate through it; i.e. A lot of Intelligent folks did not have the Wisdom to know, nor listen to those who knew, that the Vax was bullshit.

It is important to differentiate words correctly, else we end up with words like "Racism", "Nazi", etc, being overused incorrectly so as to dilute their true meanings...which unfortunately get lost in the treadmarks of time.
