This just shows that there is no correlation between beliefs and intelligence. The knowledge you obtain gets applied on top of your belief system, often times doesn’t change your beliefs. I have a couple of doctor friends and I wouldn’t go to 1 of them if my life depended on it. She graduated from a Caribbean med school and is your typical maga.
Also it is a reminder that an expert in something is not generally an expert in anything else, and anything they're not expert in they're only as good at it as the average person of the same intelligence and education
And let's not forget the avg person is dumb as rocks. All of us included.
many doctors are just really good at regurgitating information they gathered in their 20's, they're not particularly inspired in their field of study or stay up-to-date on all the latest information. they just got into the work because it appeared to be a stable well-paying job, simple as
then are entire fields compromised by $ and short-sightedness, like podetry. modern feet have so many problems because modern shoes are just...terrible, but podiatrists make a bunch of $ peddling "arch support", special shoes/inserts etc.
the foot-arch comes from a muscle, muscles atrophy when you when support them...all you need to do to get arches back is wear flat-soled shoes (this hurts, if you've not worn them...ever, as those muscles have barely been used)
