It's less about whether people have the intellect to second guess this stuff, as society simply not working if anarchy rules. Like free speech, exercise of choice and free will are necessarily limited. The limits to my mind are generally around where a reasonable, and intelligent, person would self-limit anyway. That seems to be something that many don't understand.
I don't think that being wiling members of a more or less cooperative society makes us sheep, at least not in a bad way. If there are any sheep of the mesmerised variety, it's the ones who fall for the Bill Gates/mind control stories - it soesn't seem to have occurred to them that they wouldn't know if they were subject to mind control themselves.
