cooprider, intelligence and education should never be mistaken for one and the same.

“look up at wikipedia” “I googled it” gives validation to the poster who said we are a shallow nation or something to that effect. That is an easy way out no original mental effort made there.
Must be college graduates, spoon fed at the trough.

kilohana – Shrodinger, Planck, Einstein, von Laue etc. all were criticized at one time or another by some of their peers for theories they entertained.

People parroting the first results thrown to them that gives them a warm fuzzy feeling that they are
“right”. Sheep, either incapable or, afraid of contemplating something beyond their own narrow mindset.

People are so loathe to be shown that they might be “wrong” that they never learn anything.

Is there a difference between mental laziness and stupidity?
