Some idiots have picked up this and started discussions over it.
I sat and pondered for a while, thinking.....well....don't you have better talking points or things to worry about?
My impression...if you went around major urbanized regions (Memphis, NY City, SF, or Miami)....you probably would find a fair number of people who just aren't that educated (even if they have a high school diploma, a bachelor's degree, or even a PhD).
I'm not saying we are a land of brilliant 'Einsteins'....just that a lot of people went through some fake educational deal, and emerged as what they are. Some accidentally got smart....some didn't.
I worked for a Colonel once, who had a master's degree in aeronautical science. We had to put a computer on his desk....with a 3x5 card next to it....instructing him how to turn it on, boot it up, and get one single program running in the background. Yes, it was a dummy-situation where he needed to present the image that he was computer literate (when he wasn't).
I worked with a US Marine in the DC area....who had a part-time job on weekends as a personalized trainer. There were tons of people being brought into DC for jobs, and they had to use office-related programs which they had no fundamental knowledge over. So this guy would spend two entire days teaching people on the 'art', and made around $1k for each weekend.
I really don't see where this intelligence level discussion goes. Maybe it helps some left-leaning folks feel superior or smarter....but then when their transmission fails and 'Marvin' is explaining the science of transmissions....it's way over the owner's head. 'Marvin' just states an entire day of work is required, and $3,500 in the cost.
Worthless chatter? Yeah, more or less.
