When Smart People Lose Their Minds

Why do brilliant people-engineers, doctors, professors-suddenly sound like they're reciting talking points from a script? Why can two equally educated individuals look at the same event and see completely different realities? We're living through something unprecedented: not just political disagreement, but a fracturing of shared reality itself. People aren't just reaching different conclusions anymore-they're operating in entirely separate universes of fact. This isn't about left versus right. It's about a deeper cognitive crisis affecting how we all think, and it's getting worse. The problem isn't that we disagree; it's that we've forgotten how to think.
