The fact you don't see the flaw in that stat is telling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it goes against your narrative? education doesn't correspond to intelligenc. This has been know for a long time. the education system rewards conformity not innovation. If you do very well in school it doesn't mean you will become a millionaire. It actually tends to mean the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on learning how to identify logical fallacies, but your application of them is lacking. You would have learned that if you didn't "struggle" in high school.

Snoslinger Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 well here is a fact that actually agrees with your notion, somewhat. i did awful in HS, absolutely awful. but i turned shit around, had to take some basic science courses, then go into college p/t, without a major, and do well before i got into the EE program. i did it and i live an exciting, rewarding life. now in another situation, we just had a co-op here at work, who was the valedictorian of her class, and she was very smart and will go far. your study is bogus, sludgey.

Rod Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Cliff notes: succeeding in school doesn't necessarily correspond with intelligence it can mean that you'll make a comfortable life but less likely to really succeed higher intellects tend to struggle with the confines of high school school tends to reward conformity, not innovation and out of the box thinking.
