I hate to bother you again...are they hosts of podcasts or something?

Or is it books?

I know nothing of them except what their careers are.

I worked with one PHD who was in his 60’s that lid not know what it meant when the low oil light came on in his car, and I’d think to myself Bob, do you not understand the laws of thermo dynamics?,
If an experiment went wrong he would always declare “How could this happen?” well you obviously forgot a few factors, so let regroup and try again.

He had a young single pretty female PHD working for him and she delegated some of her work to me which freed up her time and we would meet for breakfast and hike in the hauchuca mountains together.

I never made my move, thinking I was below her.

People, we are dumb all over.

The Peter’d Out Principle in action.

Western Civilization Decays From Within. CONGre$$ agrees to fund more of same.

Institutions of higher learning long ago left this cerebral affair with fantasy and self-governance and ascended to more heady issues.. or somethin’.

More concerned with rewriting&editing history rather than learning from it, they forge ahead, well funded and determined to change the world, in the name of equality, diversity and conformity, damn the consequences.

God help us all.

I know some very educated folks....I have a degree..but I had a real job before I got a degree..in my 30's...

I had an advantage I had real world knowledge...and people skills.

My SNL is a Doctor...Smart kid...wise.

The Doc is married to,,,my daughter...She could have been a lawyer or Doctor. She's brilliant. She doesn't want to be those....she has a B.S. in Law....and an A.S. in Physical Therapy...

She's doing fine....

My oldest is a Hair Stylist....was on track to make $150k last year. She knows how to change her brake pads..on her car.

Point is..many folks are book smart...but not wise.

Jocko Willink has a podcast, and appears on others. It seems that most of Jordan Peterson’s videos on youtube are recorded lectures or speeches.

My consulting company was hired by many businesses to hire there management. I round filed resume’s from Harvard - Yale etc, followed by any Lawyers. They would kill off a business fast. They tended to be arrogant and lacked human understanding. One study noted that the higher you IQ the more self deceiving you are.

Some of them are brilliant, some are dopes.
It does not take a rocket scientist to differentiate between the two.

The study was done by people with an IQ of 100.

Also some people with higher IQ are bad spellers and will often use you for your:)
