I also think there's a major disconnect on logic vs intellect that many here miss. If I'm analyzing various theories and opinions, give me someone with impeccable logic even if there is little formal education over someone with a great amount of specialized study. |

While everyone is falling all over each other to get either on or off the "intellectual pedestal," I'm over here all by my lonesome on the "jerk, racist, bigoted, misogynistic, hate-filled pedestal."
Anyone care to join my elite group?

There are so many types of intelligence that this sort of ranking is usually pretty pointless. It's like choosing the correct tool, you need the type of person that is smart in the appropriate way.

Hystera (Greek: ὑστέρα) refers to a woman's womb (basically the same world as uterus). Hysterics - to an ancient Greek - occurred when a woman's womb caused her trouble. A hysterectomy is a cutting (tomy) out (ec) of the uterus (hyster). I'll see all of you for Greek 001 in the Spring.

I think I'm just getting a nod because the real Solon was one of the Seven Sages of ancient Greece. Talk about bigoted stereotyping!

And there's no shortage of tools in this shed.

As one who communes with
Boise St fans, I have an extremely magnified perception of my own intelligence.
I feel much like Jane Goodall.
