Why smart people are more likely to believe fake news
Research shows that smart people are more susceptible to fake news and conspiracy theories – but why?
Luxury Beliefs are Status Symbols
The struggle for distinction
"But today, because material goods have become a noisier signal of one’s social position and economic resources, the affluent have decoupled social status from goods, and re-attached it to beliefs."
"When people express unusual beliefs that are at odds with conventional opinion, like defunding the police or downplaying hard work, or using peculiar vocabulary, often what they are really saying is, “I was educated at a top university” or “I have the means and time to acquire these esoteric ideas.”"

What's fake news? Saneagle and I watch the same YT video of Trump shooting and see two different interpretations. I didn't see Trump being shot, he did.
Like the Hunter Biden laptop, where I told you where you could see an actual copy and judge for yourself, where any reasonable person could see that it was genuine, yet you chose to believe the MSM and fake 50 security chiefs that signed a letter saying, " it had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation", when they had the actual laptop in their possession. You couldn't even understand their words, when they deliberately didn't say that it didn't exist, the same as the fire chief, who said "we've been told that it was a diesel" about the car that burnt down the Luton Airport carpark, when he knew exactly what it was- how to tell a lie without lying.
The story you linked to says "affluent" intelligent people, not every day non-affluent intelligent people like me. Out of the 17 signs of affluence, I only have 3. I think you're going to score a lot higher:

Being a millionaire and being affluent are not the same thing. As I said, I only score 3/17 in the affluence test. Affluence means flowing abundently, as in spending a lot. My money has never flowed. It has trickled in slowly over 50 years and hardly any has got out because I'm prudent (intelligent) with my spending. I've had one holiday in the last 20 years, I ride my bike rather than use the car and I shop in the cheap shops and buy cheap stuff from China. Nearly all my money has been invested and reinvested in property for the last 30 years. I've never seen that money. It's just a number on a piece of paper. I can buy anything I want, but I don't. That's not affluence!
