The average person is paradoxically far too knowledgeable for their own good, specifically because they are not knowledgeable enough. The ideal is to be highly educated, but being totally uneducated is far preferable to being slightly educated. Being highly educated allows you to be right. Being slightly educated allows you to be totally wrong while having some scraps of "backup" for your claims. The midwit is far more dangerous than the totally uneducated, because the midwit can be far more effectively weaponized against Communism due to their appearance of "correctness" brought about by knowing some irrelevant trivia.
