Is there such a thing as an educated idiot?

[Waldo Kinetti]

I know alot of college educated people, who couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heel.

Some colleges are pretty easy to get through. Also, some people are geniuses in a narrow sense but clueless in other ways. That is OK by me, as long as they know what they know and know what they don't know. I knew a guy with Asperger's. He was brilliant in some ways, but could not function in a social situation. These people can be very useful members of society.

You might as well consider me an idiot but I am not educated and not a sheople.

 

[nonactivist]

lol, You are known by the company you keep.

 

[Buddhist Objectivist]

Yeah, I know loads of them- people who are well-educated are typically far more narrow-minded and unwilling to compromise on thinking-patterns (in an effort to maintain an inflated ego), intelligence is not the same as wisdom, or even common sense.

I have friends who have masters degrees and can't even work a washing maching.

Yes. George W. Bush went to Yale and Harvard, of all places, and still remained an idiot.
