The way in which political totem ideas work is fascinating. Each camp is in love with their own and cannot stop repeating them, and dislikes those of the other camps more with each repetition. No wonder Twitter is so strongly partitioned.

Welcome to human psychology. Cognitive bias holds many, even the highly intelligent, back.

I even read a study that says that it affects highly intelligent people even more, but I worry that the study may have been written by highly intelligent people

If highly intelligent people are suffering higher rates of cognitive bias, can we even claim that they are highly intelligent? The world may never know.

I suspect the reason might be that people that are not intelligent use more common sense instead of forming abstract theories about how the world works, so they are also going to suffer less from the traps into which you fall when create theories.

Perhaps less introspection leads to less computational shortcuts which in turn leads to less cognitive bias development. I wouldn't necessarily call it "common sense." However, this result is likely the cause of another bias, the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I think that highly intelligent and educated people may have a greater tendency to think about the world in terms of how it differs from the way it should be, instead of how it is.
