As more and more crazy things happen in society I've realized that most people aren't really even in the game in terms of trying to understand the bigger picture of the world and of what holds society together, it's like they don't even have the right operating system for it. Personally I think this is by design and things like the dumbed down education system, dumbed down entertainment, etc are all designed to keep people as dumb as possible.

Yes, you described it perfectly. I have noticed this a lot with some people I know, they basically think if they so much as consider an idea or concept that it taints their reputation, even if it's just in a conversation between me and them. It's like they've been trained to immediately become embarrassed if they have thoughts outside of those that they are "supposed to have".
