A whole new level of balderdash. (Essentially, he took "AI will let architects reimagine their process." And "expounded" on it, to no purpose.)

(Half of Harvard Law Grads are brilliant, though. The other half are too mentally deficient to operate a mop, let alone the bucket.)

Intelligence and education don't necessarily add up to wisdom.

“Schools” like that aren’t about education, they’re about the connections.

And ...when it comes to education vs intelligence, even when only blessed with one, the ability for one to govern thinking for the other has it's own quality. From the Serenity Prayer - "and the wisdom to know the difference" is often missing form current leftists. Critical thinking is not in their skill set, the reward is only in leftist outcomes.

The mentally deficient seem to practice corporate law. I think the best lawyers are born, not made. I am impressed with the verbal skills of the top defense attorneys.

I retired from Police work about 6 months ago and got a job as a Bailiff, just finished my 12th Jury Trial last week. here are my main observations:

Good trial lawyers have great situational awareness in the Courtroom. Knowing when to pounce on their opposing counsel's mistakes or ignore them but bring it up during closing arguments. Also, good trial lawyers know how to read the room......knowing when they are annoying the Judge or pissing off the Jury.

Preparation: knowing their case, having their evidence and exhibits ready, and having their paperwork ready and clean. What I mean by paperwork is the Jury Instructions. Nothing pisses a Judge off more than having to make a Jury that is on day 4 or 8 wait for an hour or two because the just submitted Jury instructions by both lawyers are a freaking mess. I have seen full grown men trying to hide in the copy room from the wrath of a Judge Wink

In my former lives in Accounting and IT, I came across more than a few PhD's that were too dumb to pour piss out of a boot with a handle on the heel and the directions on the bottom.

Reminds me of the line in "Smokey and the Bandit" when Sheriff Buford T. Justice said, "You sumbitches couldn't close an umbrella."



"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

One of my coworkers had multiple advanced degrees, supposedly had genius level IQ and claimed to be a former Army Ranger. He was barely functional. I once watched him walk into a tree. When I would enter a business, the clerk would often give me his wallet or his checkbook, which he had forgotten or dropped on his way out.
This illustrated to me that it is indeed possible for you to be too smart for your own good. And that looking good on paper is no indication of how you will actually function on the job!

I have let your snide remarks go several times. Please refrain from posting about mine. If you are unable to comprehend my remarks perhaps you should take a basic course in reading comprehension.



Is it possible Fenris was referring to the linked article and not your post?

To be fair, to understand Fenris’ comment, you would had to have read at least Aglifter’s succinct summary of his linked article. I had to dig a little deeper and read some of the article, but "Balderdash" was spot on. Fenris’ response, “Word salad", was too wordy.
