Really the only prerequisite to falling into a cult is thinking oneself too smart or moral or whatever to fall into a cult.

No, the key to falling into a cult is vulnerability, misunderstanding, naïveté, peer pressure, desperation, seeking social acceptance, and opportunity. You can very much have enough awareness to not join nor be susceptible to cults and recognize cult behavior and ideology, not everybody is that desperate for something to give their life an illusion of greater meaning.
