He's telling me that "street smarts" is just what stupid people say to make themselves feel better about their baseless opinions.

Then he doesn't have any because that is not what street smarts is at all. That would be not having book smarts as opposed to not having/having street smarts.

I'm sure Scat will roll in shaking his finger with some anti-intelligentsia propaganda again

There is no such thing as "book smart" and "street smart". Intelligence is multi-faceted and come in many forms. It cannot be contained in that most convenient package. I was only making fun of Dr. Jones hilarious/generic response about the world not being black and white.

he's obviously kidding-- but the separation of intelligence into two categories of "book smart" and "street smart" lacks both logical and academic veracity.

Considering this is a sports forum I figured "street smarts" and "book smarts" were given pretty broad brushes for convenience. I agree it comes in many forms, I was just working with what was given.
 
Trump's gonna make Murika so great you guys!! I personally am looking most forward to a president who doesn't apologize anymore.


That's right! Apologize for what? Sorry for loving freedom! Sorry for loving the free market! Sorry for loving democracy!

Trump LOVES America!
 
My two favourite slogans from this campaign are "Make American Great Again", and "America is Already Great!"


The lols I'm having with y'all being left with Hillary and Trump. L-M-A-O. Y'alls politics are a dumpster fire.

I think this one is true tbh.
 
I personally think if it wasn't for its militarism, America is pretty great. After all, it is the society that accepted me as one of their own just the way I am. It is a wonderful thing.
 
I was given nothing, at all, in life.
Have done alright.
Never went to college.
Hold my own in any board room, anywhere, any time.

I call street smarts learning on the go from experiences. Especially when absent of an academic education on a specific topic.

I taught myself on the fly.

Only reason I say that is to help distinguish my own definitional paradigm between the two terms.
I readily admit I have less education and book smarts.
I also cringe when my son is explaining to me what he's learning in his business classes. His professor, for one, is complete buffoon.

I have ALL THE RESPECT IN THE WORLD for academia. Pushing my kids hard even though I wasn't at all. And it's hard because they tend to want to use me as the example as to why they don't need it. I consider myself very lucky/fortunate/blessed to have made something out of nothing... don't want those odds for my kids.

I hold Siro and Dala (as well as others) in very very high regard.

Although I think some professors are morons doesn't mean the overall education is fantastic for so many reasons.

My hats off to everyone that put in the work to better and enrich their lives rather than taking the lazy or dumb approach.

Pretty much every American agrees with this to varying degrees.

You understand that I came from the Middle East as a kid on my own, with a few hundred dollars, and practically no-knowledge of this new culture. Right? And you do realize that I am quite successful, correct? Enough with that garbage about street smarts and book smarts.
 
Also, it is curious how I lose my naive status when Dr. Jones agrees with me on capitalism and 90% of other topics. :rolleyes:
