Excellent post, Karl. 

I have spent a lifetime discussing and debating the Jewish question. Most of the people I've engaged were highly educated. However, what always gave me the advantage in discussions was that I knew both sides of the argument. Before refuting them, I could often improve their own arguments with facts they were unaware of. After all, I, too, received my formal education at a university and am capable of following the mainstream narrative. Knowing the other side of an argument is imperative in such discussions. That removes the mistaken impression that you've wrapped your brain around a particular belief system and that you're the one who needs to be informed and educated. Most importantly, you won't be blindsided when confronted with verifiable information that, on the surface, refutes your own argument. 

Don't waste your time with academics who are still employed. Their livelihood depends on disagreeing with you. Intelligence is no defense since the conclusions of the indoctrinated may be totally logical based on the information they have. Our greatest asset against indoctrination is not intelligence, but instinct, which is innate intelligence passed on through generations. And, like intelligence, instinct is not distributed equally among people.  From my experience, how persuasive your arguments are on something like the Jewish question depends more on speaking to the good instincts of people rather than to their intelligence. Our education system works overtime to drown peoples' good instincts in out-of-context information and, at other times, by pretending that their information is scientific and objective and that no intelligent alternative explanation exists. How well they succeed in this effort depends on how strong the individual's instincts are. The sad truth is that the average person performs better in the intelligence category than the instinctual one. 

Since I was a teenager, my understanding of the Jewish problem has not changed. I did not need the truth explained to me because I discovered it myself, by an instinctive understanding of what was happening. The only thing that did change was the multitude of facts and information I've since discovered in my research that supported what my instincts initially gravitated toward. After spending much time listening to and reading what the advocates of the other side's perspective had to offer, it became easy to refute their best arguments with verifiable information they were unfamiliar with, which negated their argument.
