Depends on what you define as culture, and education. In one sense, the 
later can subsume some crazy, and bring more "rational sounding" things 
to the surface. However, to have those things surface, in trade for the 
truly crazy shit, there has to be a culture that promotes the idea that 
they exist.

It also requires that the people thinking those things, at some point, 
decide they have had enough education, or that some part of it is 
inconvenient for them, and thus, stop trying to figure out if it makes 
sense, or just sounds slightly more plausible.
