I experienced the same crazy double think even in my blue collar industrial job. Despite the OSHA safety training that paper masks don't stop asbestos which is bigger than a "virus", my coworkers became insistent on wearing them.
"The evolutionary psychologist William von Hippel found that humans use large parts of thinking power to navigate social world rather than perform independent analysis and decision making. For most people it is the mechanism that, in case of doubt, will prevent one from thinking what is right if, in return, it endangers one’s social status. This phenomenon occurs more strongly the higher a person’s social status. Another factor is that the more educated and more theoretically intelligent a person is, the more their brain is adept at selling them the biggest nonsense as a reasonable idea, as long as it elevates their social status. The upper educated class tends to be more inclined than ordinary people to chase some intellectual boondoggle. " -Sasha Latypova
Exactly. On this topic, I’m just finishing John Smyth’s ‘Toxic University: Zombie Leadership’, highly recommend if you don’t know of it. Brings together so many of my previous ‘educashon’ experiences.

'Dismiss, Delay, Deny, Discredit, Deflect, Deceive and Divide'.
Aren't alliterations just wonderful?
Division, Despair, Disinformation, Dependency, Depopulation, Deindustrialisation, Drugs, Death, signs of the times.
Education and educashon are no longer synonyms, just unrelated homophones.
Critical thought appears undesirable, inconsistent with the maintenance of a lie or concealment of the truth. Such is educashon.
Thank you for an excellent and educative article.
