I'm willing to bet some, if not most, of the worst leaders in history were highly educated. Being educated doesn't make you a good person.

I'm willing to bet being educated makes you more aware of bad decisions.
OR, being educated simply means that your delusions and deceptions are on another level.
Possibly makes it easier for them to defend their delusions and deceptions as well.
When people are educated beyond their intelligence it makes them more convinced that their bad decisions are really good decisions.
