Let me start off by saying I don't necessarily agree with everything in the article but I do believe that even intelligent people can become the victim of a cultural Anti-intellectualism.
Part of the brain called the Amygdala stores information learned in the presence of fear as being facts. Anti-intellectual propaganda can trigger this reaction causing even intelligent people to hold non intelligent beliefs.
In any case, it's like you said, just an interesting perspective and something to think about.
