Intellectual BS

 I tried to read and grasp this opinion essay that appeared out of the NY Times.  After about 60 seconds, I had to put the article down....feeling that the person writing this....had the mentality of a 12-year old kid (not a neuroscientist).

I've reached the point where I suspect out of a hundred people who want to portray themselves as intellectuals....university-degreed...probably a quarter of the groups are not capable of independent thought or capable of any type of analysis.

I don't know if they finished high school with this mental defect, or that college just made them more stupid....but it's a simmering problem.

Trying to see Biden in some age discussion?  No, this was wrong to say only old people are diminished.  I'm at the point of suggesting that 20-year old folks have competency problems....just as much, and even 12-year old kids are diminished in some ways.
