So supposedly getting Bachelor degrees in fields like criminal justice improves one's chance of becoming a police officer
But having too high an IQ makes it difficult to become accepted
So does this imply someone can have a bachelor degree and be no smarter than the average person
In other words college did not improve their intelligence
Or they were below average intelligence when they enrolled in college and came out average with their criminal justice degree upon graduation
@shortstories Yes on your 2nd, 3rd and 4th points. IQ and intelligence is a genetic trait and cannot be "improved".
It is similar to having a low CPU power. You are trying to make complex calculations with low power.

People think that high educations mean high intelligence...
As if I wasn't already annoyed. 
Just smart enough to memorize but too dumb to ask questions will probably get you through University faster than if U start asking questions and try to actually understand anything.
Hitler mentions this in Mein Kampf. Reading to memorize or reading to understand.
Higher education used to overlap with high intelligence.
After nepotism and affirmative action, not so much. Education had to be dumbed down.
Bigger point is that being good at memorizing stuff and taking tests often does not apply to the real world.
@amerika @sardonicsmile @shortstories
The Brain has at least 7 different intelligence's that aren't overlapping.
One of them is reading writing. Another is calculus. Those are the only 2 that are of use in mist studies.
I guess the ability to memorize is kind of essential too.
@BroDrillard @amerika @sardonicsmile @shortstories
Yes, I think Engineers actually have to be intelligent.
So it depends on what U are studying.
I know someone who is in one way very intelligent. An engineer. But then he took the Covid vaccine because if U don't vaccinate U are an idiot or something of that accord.
But that is what makes intelligence complex.
@EvolLove @BroDrillard @amerika @sardonicsmile
A lot of engineers are stupid order followers who are not as smart as the physicists
They just learn to follow the protocol an employer wants and use numbers in following the orders
This is not true about all engineers
Also there is an exception in that a lot of astronomers in the physics community and certain other fields of physics involve a lot of fakery
Most people are this way generally
Engineers often are rigid thinkers who break down with too many variables or ambiguities.

Do you have any excerpts, for reference? I have not read his manifesto bit perhaps it is something to consider.
@sardonicsmile @EvolLove @amerika
Memorizing to understand is better than reading to understand
but reading to memorize is worse than reading to understand
If you memorize a quote or an equation then you can contemplate the meaning when you are not looking at it or hearing it from someone else
However some people do not memorize to understand things but only to answer test questions
all western liberal human behavior
This is the reality that almost all human behavior is designed to avoid seeing.
