This smug PhD was served a slice of humble pie when she shamed an "uneducated" Marine in this IQ experiment

It's always nice to see smug people get a slice of humble pie, isn't it?

This is a few years old, but it went viral again over the weekend and it's a great laugh/lesson:

1 minute video at link...........

The smug PhD was SO sure of herself!

"Two, me. I don't know! PhD, cancer biology, scientist, I work in a biotech company, we make Covid-19 testing kits, stuff like that!"

Credentials ≠ intelligence!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She was last!.......................

Let’s just say I’m especially intuitive about that sort of think. ;)

Even being kind, a PhD is a guarantee of deep specialized knowledge in a narrow field. Nothing more.

I've heard it said that PhD's know more and more about less and less until they k now everything about nothing.

It does not take a high IQ to make Covid tests. Most are “lateral flow assays” which is OLD technology. I could teach a high school student to do it.

They just hand them out to people who show up now. It’s like the army. It used to mean something to make it through battle school. Now everyone passes. It’s a joke.

The school principal will be getting a big thank you from me for all involved.

That little grade school gym until last year was our voting precinct. I voted there around noon once and the cafeteria smells took me back to when I was a little kid, lol.

Isn’t that a weird experience, going back to the same grade school you went to in third grade?

The thick coats of paint on the walls. That characteristic smell...the low water fountains...

It is a bit of a trip, isn’t it? Takes you right back, especially the smells.

When I smell jet exhaust or the inside of a ship, it does that to me. You could blindfold me, put me inside of a soundproof, smellproof box and bring me on a ship, and as soon as the box is opened, even blindfolded, I could tell you I was on a ship. It is that combination of lubricants, paint, sewage, and food that makes it unmistakable...

Same with an elementary school!
