Peter Gleick, Super Genius

As I explain to my son, there is a big difference between being educated and being smart. (Tip to Instapundit)



Actually, I think this gets the flavor of the caper and the fail:



You have to wait to the end for the line I intended: "I went to college!"

UPDATE: This is appropriate:

Intelligence minus judgment equals intellect.

It seems like liberals pride themselves on being smarter than conservatives. Sometimes I think they are right. Because you have to be a super genius to think of arguments that make really stupid ideas sound like good ideas.

Oh, and Smith makes a good point that there are consequences of seeing idiot savants tell us what we must do.

UPDATE: See? They really do think they are super geniuses.
