I don't disagree with your idea that it is unreasonable to expect all PhDs to have identical views on everything merely because they have doctorates.

However, it seems clear that most, if not all, of the people here are speaking specifically about Bialik's belief in anti-vaccination, given her PhD in a science field. This is what the secret OP already indicated by stating that Bialik's degree in neuroscience seemed to conflict with her anti-vaccine standpoint. I don't see where the secret contradicts your idea that "a scientist should want her kids vaccinated because vaccination is a sound science that has saved probably billions of lives."

In fact, the only other belief/view that I've seen you use to support your protest about the subjective expectations placed upon educated & intelligent people regards religion, and as the other OP already pointed out, a belief in God(s) is not mutually exclusive with intelligence - all the intelligence in the world won't help you prove or disprove the existence of a god. If you've heard people saying that (to you or to others), then they're obviously wrong...but as far as I've seen, no one here has been making that claim. At this point, it seems as if you're either taking that supposed accusation too personally or being purposefully obtuse about responding to the people who've disagreed with you.

(And I don't always agree with ariakas, but I didn't see anything objectionable in the profanity/italics of the comment above.)

(Lol what profanity, seriously? I do swear a lot but I'm just not finding it in that comment.)

(same anon ^)

I saw you'd responded elsewhere saying that you were distracted at work while doing this, and that you agreed with the difference between judging a belief in religion versus a belief in anti-vaccination (gah, it takes me so long to type a comment that I'm already late with the discussion by the time I've finished), so I apologize if I was a bit overly harsh here! I don't think you should be excoriated...! You do have a good general point. =)

purposefully obtuse That option.
