really? I thought a key difference between high school and college was the utility (or lack of) of rote memorization. While you can breeze through HS with a good memory, college would require critical thinking.



Depends on what you take...according to Institute Professor Noam Chomsky a lot of Academics can't think critically at all, and are idiots. I've seen some in my time bouncing around colleges.

I think maybe you mean "over-educated" people may lack common sense.

Being really educated doesn't mean you're smart. That's the closest I'll come to agreeing with Rush Limbaugh...now please roll your fat ass off into the sunset.


Being over-educated
Capable of reasoning. Ask Neil deGrasse Tyson, even people who become doctors can be incompetent and dumb.


No I mean some of them lack the ability to reason and think creatively. They just memorize things well.

[SPOILER AHEAD!]

This film hs been out in Ireland since last year.
You wouldn't know it from the trailer but this film is completely, and I mean completely, batshit insane.

Manvel HS played Aledo HS this past weekend at Cowboys stadium. Got stuck behind the caravan driving to dallas.

I assume you do software or networking Wax. What is your cert in?

I dropped out of HS too, got a GED. My 2 yr college (electronics) cost me less than $10k. I have worked in software ever since.

I hope the OWS crowd doesn't count her as one of them. It would mean the message is "I made a bunch of bad financial decisions and now I don't want to deal with the consequences".

Taking out student loans you can't pay off is as much the fault of your underpaid HS teachers that told you University was the best way to go as any Wall Street trader. Mostly though, it was your own decision, take responsibility for it.

Buying an overpriced home you couldn't afford was as much the fault of your real estate agent as any Wall Street trader. Mostly though, it was your own decision, take responsibility for it.

Seriously, the Wall Street upper class have done an awful lot to create an uneven playing field to enrich themselves at the expense of others. They have made an environment were people who have made GOOD financial decisions, paid off their debts, and started investing are the ones getting hurt. Their investments are getting devalued, or more often just growing much slower than that of the ultra rich.

I'm sorry, but people like this reporter are flattering themselves to try and claim their lot in life is Wall Street getting them down. People like her have failed themselves, no help from Wall Street required.

@berticus Ahhh I see, not all of my memories, just the ones I'm most confident about because of some emotional significance I've attached to them.

You'll have to forgive my indignation, when you say I don't know my own mind you're attacking my integrity. Statements like "Yes, your (referring to me) memory really is that faulty," and "you will be completely wrong about where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing when the attacks happened," imply that I'm either being dishonest with you or with myself.

You can deflect responsibility for those comments to your whining about confidence not being related to quality of the memory that was formed but a study that shows fault with memory doesn't prove that my memories or anyone else's are false to the degree that you subscribe to; namely "completely wrong about where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing when the attacks happened."

I was a junior in high school. I graduated in 2002. My parents NEVER let me stay home from school and I was in the journalism room (213???) working on something (I'm not exactly sure what but it had to do with circulation since that was my responsibility). I also remember after watching the attacks and thinking something like "Well no one is going to give a shit about our news from last week NOW." And I can't be certain about the names of everyone else who was there (3 other students), my adviser was there because she never left us alone in the room.

Also, I know who I lost my virginity too, I know where I celebrated my last birthday, I know who I went to my HS prom with, and I know what your background is on the degregation of memories in the human mind.

Das Klo.
