When I joined Mensa in the early 70s, I found incredibly smart idiots to be the rule. I didnt persue the relationship. Im also reminded of the old saying..”them that can, do,
them than cant, teach, them that cant do anything, administrate”
Im also reminded of the fact that academia is a nice warm little fuzzy box where no matter how bizzare, world views are reinforced by peer pressure. Hence the various studies that have shown that those who are unable to make it on their own in the real world, tend to gravitate towards academia. Where they hide behind tenue and their inflated self
importance. But hey, its cheaper than putting them in a Home, and they can prey on all the coeds they want. Even while filling their heads full of lice (sic). Hummm maybe it would be cheaper, to society, to put them in a Home…….
I wonder..if the teachers are so smart..why they are turning out students who are so stupid? How many time have they revised downwards the SAT requierements? 2? 3?
