we'll have to agree to disagree then.
for me at least, high school was memorization and regurgitation. college forced me to think for myself. come up with my own thesis, try to find facts that proved my thesis, present this information to peers and professors etc.
moving on then...
well shit..
i'm a highschool dropout....
kicked out multiple times for violence/etc...
was sent to special schools as a kid, had my IQ tested five times, lowest was 151, highest was 184
it's your brain that dictates your intelligence
a good analogy would be a car's engine, you are limited by the sheer displacement (intelligence) of the engine
but you can increase your engines efficiency a lil
self taught people are everywhere though, I got my nose stuck in a book most the time, and I simply am curios about how shit works, that curiosity is the "gum" that makes the information "stick"
even music, never taken a music course in my life but I can play bass like a mofo
everyone's read boring shit to memorize for tests, but it's
retention that is the most important
people would be surprised to see how many amazing people out there with virtually no formal education.
This all being said?
i'm full of shit as much as most, but if I argue with someone, I don't play fair, I only argue when I know factually I am able to prove them wrong.
wise man once said
"arguments are great, either gives me the opportunity to prove how smart I am, or teaches me something I didn't know, a win/win for me"
anyways, this thread got all feisty, didn't it?
