Yeah, but according to you the smartest people you’ve ever met have been high school drop outs, so you don’t have a whole lot of credibility as far as I’m concerned.

Actually as one who has traveled both working class and academic circles I find that an argument can be made for the value of natural intelligence over that simply derived from education. I don't know that I would say the smartest people I have meet have been high school dropouts, but many including my grandfather have been the most sensible and successful people that I have known.

Sensibility is a commodity oft overlook now days especially among those who like to claim educational and intellectual superiority.
