My opinion, here...
Nah...most people can think for themselves. It comes down to a choice. It's much more natural for people to appeal to authority...so that's what most do.
Educated...ah, there's that word again. I'm not sure what it means. Formally? Informally? By who and for what reason? Education can't always be trusted.
I've met plenty of intelligent people who have less formal education than I and they can debate me under the table.
Dangerous thoughts...
...I can only answer this in regards to recovery. Otherwise the subject is too broad and I'll go off on a dozen tangents.
My dangerous thoughts can lead to relapse. It's a warning system. I don't ever have to act upon my thoughts. I acknowledge my thoughts and let them go.
I get stronger in my resolve to remain sober.
