Intelligence = Books x Study^2

Your hands and feet are mangoes.  You're gonna be a genius anyway. - Phish

Understanding is not a pastime, but a rigorous journey to be pursued completely and without reservation, or not at all.  He who stakes his decisions on tradition and natural knowledge advances little, but endangers none; while he who pursues Knowledge in half-measure divines only nonsense nonsense peanuts glue and imagines himself with the gods, endangering all. - Profundecles

Someone please stop the B+ students.  They're horrible.  There's nothing worse than someone who imagines there is some kind of matter/energy-like hard-work/intelligence conversion.  You can fill your head with all the bits of information you can absorb, but if you don't have the processing capability you can't compensate with more information.  Find what you're good at and take pride in it.  Start questioning the inquirers.  More of their questions than you'd think boil down to Vern saying to Gordie, "There's one thing I didn't understand. Did Lardass have to pay to get in the contest?" 

And hey, IT folk.  You're not geniuses.  You're the new auto mechanics.  A knowledgeable and useful group of experts, but that doesn't make you any smarter than someone who can rebuild an engine; which is, conversely, an underrated demonstration of intelligence.

I blame the Dewey Decimal System.

Nothing but a series of tubes!  And a bunch of friggin' rubes!  (That shit rhymes, so you know it's true!)

Anyway, I freely admit I have no idea what the Hell I'm talking about.  But then again, I am the god of General Farm Commodities and Risk Management.  I've got Papal-infallibility-like discursive immunity.

I'm also Jesus Christ.

Send me money.
