The problem with thinking you know more than the experts

[Midpack]

Re: experts. Some of the smartest people I’ve known didn’t go past a HS diploma - made me sad knowing what they might have accomplished had they had access to higher ed, though some were self taught.

Some of the dumbest (in practical terms) people I’ve known had PhD’s. Useless smarts...

But in both cases, they were admittedly exceptions.

My favorite media questions goes something like this (maybe a bit exaggerated): "Given that you are an idiot, racist, control-freak, misogynist and your wife and dog are ugly, do you think it will rain on February 22 of 2025 - and if it does, will you have your umbrella with you, you useless piece of cr@p?"
