Quote from MKTrader:
Math/science? Maybe. Humanities? Not so much. Especially since liberal arts have been taken over by uber-PC, anti-Western Civ, postmodern bias. I know non-Ivy League kids who are much more well-read in the classics, fluent in more languages, etc. than a typical Harvard clown.
Of course. But recognize that the typical Harvard clown is a rare species. He/She is typical, but nevertheless rare, as is the "W" (a.ka. our not so beloved clown president).
Quote from piezoe:
He is, however, one of the few to graduate from Yale with a seemingly ninth grade education. In general those whose undergraduate degree is from any educational institution with a highly selective admissions policy is intellectually more capable then those who graduate from institutions with more less open enrollment. That is not to say that the very best students graduating from any major Public institution are not every bit as capable. It is simple a matter of odds.
I detect a strong anti-intellectual bent among ET traders. Is this a general characteristic of gamblers, perhaps?
I'm still convinced Bush suffered from early onset dementia. Track down some interviews from the late 80s/early 90s and he seemed about 15 IQ pts higher.
That being said, he is still a poor example. He was third generation Yale.
