To All God's Children,
-->These nitpicky phds can’t think for themselves always running to a book or a higher power (professor or scholar) for an answer. This is my freedom by choosing to not live my life that way. I may be smarter then average or I may be a simpleton; I may be right about so many things or only guessing and be just as wrong. I feel like regardless of whether we get the answers from a book (which comes from another person) or ourselves (our own mind) it can be refuted, denounced or proven wrong in a number of years anyway. So what’s the point of panicking over wrong information? Might as well live, be free, and guess with a clear mind that you don’t have to be right about anything and that’s ok.

Dispersing Knowledge and the Dumb Person
To All God's Children,
-->Maybe people aren’t getting stupider, but there’s so much knowledge out there that our intelligence is just dispersed over a variety of topics. Ask a professor about any profession other than his own and he won’t know anything. Ask a student about a class that he hasn’t taken and he won’t know anything. Ask a student about a subject from one of her classes and she still won’t be able to tell you much; there’s too much info in the school of thought alone, and they usually plug and chug or regurgitate everything they learn the night before on the test anyway.
