Tendencies.
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Is there a reason why the more educated segment of the public tends toward the left and toward atheism? Is it psychological? Or philosophical? Or do you actually think I’m wrong in my assumption?
Answer
See Column 69. There are a few other possible reasons: the more educated are more open to new and non-traditional ideas (or alternatively, those who are more open become more educated). They tend to form an independent position on their own (supposedly. Nowadays that too has already become a mass herd movement).
