My cousin has a degree in sociology. She wrote a book and proudly showed me a copy. I read one paragraph and realized it was nothing more than multi-syllable words strung together to sound important.  She's massively impressed with her ability to get a degree in sociology and write a book. However, in real life working in her inherited business I realized she works mainly in panic mode rather than plan for events.  What most impressed me was her ability to close her mind to information she didn't want to hear and lie to me about stats and studies on topics I have already researched on my own. She thought since I don't have an education beyond high school that I am unable to read and learn throughout my life and I can safely be lied to. One day on one of her rants she tried to convince me incest is perfectly ok and doesn't result in deformities, lowered IQ and health inherited health issues at a higher rate. Simply learning animal genetics can disprove this and I pointed this out to her as well as letting her know I have read many studies on human genetics and inbreeding problems that stated the opposite of what she was telling me and none that supported what she was saying. She went silent and refused to speak to me the rest of the day. I took that as a huge insight into the socialist mind set. They really think the rest of us are stupid.
