That totaly makes seens to me. 

But What I have been quite puzzled about for some time is that many of my acquaintances with university degrees and/or at least a high level of education (often those with above-average incomes) are jumping on the bandwagon of conspiracy theorists and usually get very deeply entangled in their theories quite quickly... With them, it is usually impossible to have a factual discussion about, for example, politics (left or right, good or bad). I also experience in my family, which is scattered around the world, an increasingly racist attitude towards people who are fleeing or simply hoping for a better future... Can someone please explain this to me? We live in the 21st century where there are so many exciting developments in technology and medicine.... Why are we so afraid of strangers??? Please excuse me if this was not entirely related to the article ;)
