Can educated intellect ensure rational discrimination and positive conduct?

Question

Question considering the fact that most 9/11 terrororists involved directly or supportively were of high education in reputed universities.

Answer 1

I think educated intellect is very easily lead astray. I do think there is a state of wisdom that help create positive conduct and rational discrimination and the person I think of is the Dali Lama. It is education and training of all aspects of a person both emotional, physical and spiritually. If the terrorist been studying with the Dali Lama would they have acted in this way? If they had been working with Mother Theresa?

Answer 2

When you throw any kind of emotion into an equation('Jihad against America') all positive rationality goes out the window.
But then on the other hand that should enforce the thinking that people need too band together and work out their own issues as a 'community'

Answer 3

I know for a fact people who consider themsleves to be having power and manipulating people and professing to run the country are absolute stupid incompetent and unfit smug fools. Many a damage has been done in many peoples lives because of their lack of brains. I think if you eat beef and non vegetarian things then your brain becomes like the same dead meat.

Answer 4

Seems like you answered your own question, No you can be educated and still be stupid or mis informed and misled if you don't use your brain and think. Also begs the question if they were College educated what are they teaching in colleges these days?

Answer 5

many students or graduates of institutions of higher learning fall prey to various kinds of underground activities, partly the result of thier own curiosity which led them into such societies and definitely as a result of systematic brainwashing by certain leaders corrupted by their own twisted minds with a dangerous agenda. as these leaders are far too cowardly to let themselves die over their beleifs , what a convinient alternative it would be to let others do it for them? many of them go deep into the rural areas too, and target mere teenagers for their cause. these leaders, if you can call them that, are fully aware of the fact that these men and women are hungry for answers to the meaning of life, and the dissilussionment with modern life which creates a spritual vacuum within them, and so rather cleverly , these madmans in a way hijacked their minds and soul and promise them many a good thing as a reward.
