I bet I got higher SAT and ACT scores than most of the students at Rice, but you wouldn't want me running a state or a country.

Liberals confuse intellectualism with ability. The marketplace does not. That's why liberals hate markets.

And they confuse book-smarts (that odd intelligence measurable by teachers and professors biased toward their own form of intellect) and functional intelligence.

The fact that teachers and professors lack functional intelligence (and thereby the ability to succeed in the real world) is why they chose to cloister themselves in schools and ivory towers to begin with.

Back in the 70’s I had a guy on my crew that was basically a genius when it came to numbers. He was retired military and had never done anything except work with numbers his entire life. Anything not involving numbers and he was barely above idiot.

When he first started on my crew, he couldn't figure out how to use a pipe wrench to save his life.
