that is the perception , your right . a lot of people have it. smart people, idiots, and people who smoke. but i'm an english major ,steadily providing proof that those who do believe that are wrong. ya think einstein didnt fill his pipe with a little e3 scientistic funkdoctor??? i'd put money on it.
I'm sorry for this long post.
Having a degree doesn't make one intelligent. I know many people with one, two, or more degrees and not all, or many of them are greatly intelligent.
Having a degree, in my personalised view, only represents one's affinity to follow a curriculum mapped out by a government. Is that intelligence? Getting a good grade doesn't mean you got the correct/truthful answer, it means your answer matches that of the person who is marking your exam paper. Essentially you have learned only what the government want you to learn and 'little' much else.
No good holding up your degree like its some great accoloade or 'what not'. It is merely a token that you have accepted a 'degree' more system programming than the average person that hasn't been certified in that way.
Intelligent, according to my dictionary, means (1) adj; clever, (2) n intellect; information, esp. military.
There ain't a fat lot clever about following in the path of academia and not questioning the legitimacy of the information brought to you, while taking for granted that the governance of the current curriculum in force hasn't fallen into disrepair like all other aspects of politics.
To be intelligent, then, is to utilise one's intellect. Intellect is the Power of Thinking and Reasoning. If one realises their intelligence only after acquiring a degree then their new found Intelligence is based on their subjugation to academic institutions.
In my view this isn't their own pure mode of thinking but an attained mode which arrives with good grades and a borrowed way of thinking gained by years of listening to teachers and lecturers who mostly have the same level of intelligence because they went through the same conditioning process.
The only good thing is that you still smoke pot and someday you might have an awakening to the façade, smoke-screen and mirrors.
I've never believed in having "intelligence" as a single line, a one-number-IQ, a person being "smart" or "dumb". The brain is a complex organ with many MANY different areas involved in cognitive activity, each area being stronger or weaker than others. Like me, for instance:
- In school I had writing and vocabulary skills far above the rest of my class -
- I have terrible mathematical abilities
- I had an ability to study psychology a quarter as much as everybody else in my psych class and understand and remember it better than most (I got 89%)
- I can't understand microbiology worth a shit
- Studying and understand relativity, and quantum mechanics, comes easily to me.
- Essays and reports assigned to me in school, which we were given 2-3 weeks to finish, I finished on average in 2 days and always got an A on them.
- every time I go downstairs to get something, I go into the wrong room and forget why I went down.
So yeah, IQ is over rated.
well historically speaking, cannabis has always been popular in the more intelligent sectors of society. i believe mj is wasted on stupid people, as they would get nowhere near the same effect from it. but sadly it is wasted on em, and they are a useful stereotype for society to latch onto and make the rest of us look bad. ah well
"Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." (Matt. 15:11)
I graduated college with straight A's and I have almost completed my Masters Degree...all the while blazin! It puts me in a better mood! I've probably lost some brain cells along the way...but oh well!
Spiritlevel, you probably spent all day trying to figure the best sounding way to flame me. Fuck you! You don't even know me, I'm by far more intelligent than you because I can respect other people's opinions and views, and I can think on my own not findind someone's definition. If you ever took engineering with an open mind you'd realize that everything is connected, math = truth. Nothing can be created or destroyed. Everything is always going into a state of chaos. An object in motion will stay in motion until a force is acted upon it. You can think of that mathematically or spiritually. Math = spirituality = unity.
paulinator, i like ur attitude

Prove it false once in geometry and it can never be true. What else is like that?? It's legit everytime, it HAS TO make sense, if it is wrong...it's wrong. Don't see the gov't tampering with that? Even my American Democracy teacher this year in college was hardcore AGAINST how the government was being ran. Seriously dude.... I see a few possibilities. I won't go out and SAY you're not in college or didn't go to college, but the way you speak it makes you sound bitter. Bitter because you didn't make it in school and need to blame it for your shortcomings, or because you never went to college at all and you have no idea what it's even like?
Seriously....you remind me of a completely un-cool slightly dumber version of Stephen Hyde off of "That 70's Show." On that show Hyde is cool as hell because at least his idea of the government isn't exttreeeemmmeeeellllyyyy crazy and he's a rational dude.....you...are just wrong??
