  1. What does that mean?

  2. How was it “poorly”? He literally said if it’s not regulated, it’s going to be easily corrupted. I don’t understand why everyone is posting rants with no real arguments.

  3.  @WHADDDD  Education and intelligence are the same thing? Wisdom is gained through both those elements.

  4.  @ShreyasK_Music  All I know is that computer science engineers are given this “godlike” status, when other fields deserve high praise as well. You’re considered everything just because you’re exceptional at mathematics, when other individuals can innovate without the complexity of math.

  5.  @ShreyasK_Music  Oh no, I didn’t mean you, I meant how media in general gives too much attention to one particular field. Our world is crumbling and we’re still fetishizing over engineers who have nothing to do with how our society functions. Imagine being obsessed about Elon Musk when he has nothing to do with social welfare and human needs? The dude literally specializes in rockets and electric cars, which is something that is totally irrelevant when it comes to how dire everything is.

  6.  @willywonka00  I still wouldn’t consider them smart if they’re not open-minded. It’s funny how you bring up Marxism, because I’ve never met anyone online who actually read his work. In which case, they’re not educated if they don’t read the work in the first place. What are they reading? I have no clue whatsoever, lol, because they never told me.

  7.  @willywonka00  I totally disagree with you. Did you just tell me not have an opinion, lol? Listen dude, you have to get some standards if you want to be a philosopher, c’mon now. I’m not going to take an opinion seriously if an individual doesn’t want to do the research.

  8. Most entrepreneurs are pretty cold hearted and aren’t transparent, compared to a poor intellectual who is more humble.

  9. Why? Can you explain your argument instead of ranting why it’s “dumb”?

  10. @Crynaotlod Which is why intelligence goes along with it?

  11.  @WHADDDD  I disagree, I think they’re the same, since they both entice curiosity and make you work to understand the dilemma.

  12.  @disturbed157  Then are they really “intelligent? It depends on your definition.

  13.  @willywonka00  What does that mean? I wouldn’t call those people intellectuals, then, just individuals who get by.

  14.  @disturbed157  Also, what does having “street smarts” really mean? Isn’t it just based on instincts? You walk through a bad neighborhood a few times and you can tell who’s morally corrupt? Spot the gang member and drug dealers? Know when to walk away from a large group who looks menacing? Is this the right interpretation of the term?

  15.  @willywonka00  That’s not my definition, since they’re clearly lacking common sense and logic.

  16.  @willywonka00  I feel like what you’re describing is someone who is insecure and dislikes facts. To reiterate, my definition of an intellectual is someone who is open-minded and doesn’t stray too much off the course of rationality.

  17.  @willywonka00  Lmao, telling me I can't formulate my own definition of what an intellectual is, is out of context? I think you're confusing yourself XD

  18. How was he wrong? I agreed with his perspective to a certain degree.

  19.  @bnf82  The same could be said for anything, of course. I’m still confused on what your argument actually is?

  20. I support socialism, capitalism, communism, and these are all basic, human necessities of life that we use instinctively.
