Do you seriously believe that?
Yes, because I'm educated.

You're funny ceeboo. I saw the same thing but left it alone this time because I haven't figured out if K Graham is actually a new poster or he's actually ICARUS in disguise. One thing I've learned over the years is when someone wears their "education" as a badge of honor, like K Graham, that usually means they're not very intelligent. The post I've read from K Graham seem to indicate lots of formal education, but lacking when it comes to intelligence and that's a shame because you can't teach intelligence, intelligence is an internal force, some of us have it and some of us don't.

One of the most educated men I know is a hard left liberal and he's about as dumb as dirt when it comes to organizing and implementing some of the most basic task that help a truly intelligent person out perform a well educated person almost 100% of the time.

Kevin is not a new poster - He is a very long time poster who recently has returned to the board. No, he is not Icarus.

In my opinion, personal intelligence is a really complex thing. It involves multiple layers that are tethered to an enormously broad set of subjects and topics. For this reason, I am uncomfortable making any suggestions about anyone's intelligence (especially so on a discussion board that leaves all of us with significant limitations concerning important information about an individual person on said discussion board.)

Having said that, I would submit that there are real differences between intellect and wisdom. They are not the same thing. One can posses various degrees of intellect and wisdom but they are not necessarily connected - they can be. Neither of them are reliant on education. Given the two (intelligence and wisdom) it is intelligence that can be impacted by education - Not wisdom.

A wise person understands the critically important difference between ""what to think" and "how to think."

Dealing with educated people who aren't especially bright can be difficult. Dealing with smart people who have too little education can also be difficult. In my experience, the surprising thing is how similar the two kinds of difficult are. In both cases you have people who keep thinking they understand things that they actually don't.

I agree, Physics Guy.

Then there are those who, under the influence of knowing they are both smart and educated, mistakenly think that they're conversant in fields about which they really know relatively little. I think the disposition to think one is an expert is independent of either intelligence or education.

I'm going to disagree, Mike. Kevin is plenty intelligent.

I’ve found that the same problem seems much more severe with folks publicly self-labeling as patriots or Christians.

What money? And do you really want to pick a fight with me?
