I don't know, pick one:

A. You have an excellent education, the means to answer questions: building a consistent understanding of the world. You are hard to trick. That said, you live in a society where the powerful can't be criticized. Many things you know cannot be said.

B. You freely and loudly express your ideas. But, you have very little education, formal or otherwise. You have been tricked before & know you could be again. You just don't have the best tools to prevent this.

@futurebird On the other hand, the more educated you are the more complex the world seems, and the less adequate to it your own understanding. You see more clearly the constraints on your own choice, and what ability to speak you have can seem just shouting into the void. In a way, each of those options is the way the other feels.

It's not hard to see where education can seem a devil's bargain, that flips on it's head what you thought you were going to get from it.
