HOW WOULD YOU BEST DesCRIBE A HIGHLY EDUCATED BUT NOT INTELLIGENT?

To be honest, I often find those who are highly educated but not particularly intelligent people to be some of the least tolerable people on the planet, because absent the intelligence to think on their own, they are so set in the ways of their “education” that they can’t conceive of the possibility that something they’ve been taught might not be scientifically, socially, or morally right.cheers

Any opinion/ideas u can share
cheers

I've got this saying I use. " life is complicated, But we can keep it simple ". Everyone comes from a different place and are taught by billions of people differently. I like to just agree to differ when don't have same views. Simple. cool
That make sense daears.Your level of knowledge sometimes over power the unexpected.cheers handshake
"Educated" and "wise" are two completely different things.
Absolutely Trackthumbs up
U are educated but not wise and u can be wise but not educated .Having this 2 terms can be confusing @times depending on how we will use itcheers
Nice Track thumbs up I always expect the unexpected. Miss Y . It Makes life fun. Opens your mind outside your own teachings from your world. We might live on the same planet. But we all live in different worlds. Your not in my world. An I'm not in yours. That's why we all are quite different. But like Track said. Difference between educated or wise ? peace cool
peace oh yes checked u made it as clear as it is daears.cheers

U are intelligentcheers
cheers Robby that was a very good insight.thumbs down
The best example is simply one can be smart even he /she lack education.Hope that mske sensehandshake
Jhen..perfect sense. There are so many examples of hugely intelligent people who have done wonderful things, but who were from a poorly educated background.

If you’ve got it, it will shine through, no matter what the input of knowledge was in the beginning. peace kiss
Thats my Robbypeace
I love that idea simple and conciseapplause
Oooooh thank you......blushing
Most welcomecheers Rob

Precisely kornhandshake
Don't get me wrong ..
Owing nothing because u were dumb as u said but owing something because u havent have proper education but u are smart in the sense that u recognized that event of your life.


cheers handshake
"Owing nothing..."

Oh well, the concept of Zero didn't enter Western Europe until the Middle Ages. So the teeming masses usually take a while to catch on.

I would not bother. Let them be the star in their own movie. laugh

Thats fine thanks for dropping bycheers
Both ideas involve knowledge; however, they are fundamentally different concepts. Intelligence is an innate and natural ability that we are born with. It involves our natural abilities. ...
Education is what helps you to develop your natural intelligence in different ways.cheers
Intelligence is innate in a person.
Education is a manmade way of making use of that intelligence, usually with the aim of getting a job in a particular area, but not always.
Academic intelligence, and common sense and wisdom are not mutually exclusive, but sometimes can be.
Well said Molly.cheers
Always wanted to ask an intelligent and educated person this - what do you do with all that time you save typing u instead of you?

laugh
rolling on the floor laughing confused

Just go on typing that will make u smart insteaddunno cheers
Biff, especially with smartphone and tablets where word prompts come up

If I get a message saying 'Il b l8' , apart from cringing inside, the time it takes to write that rather than; I'll be late' must be that second longer. And it definitely takes more time for my brain to process it. And if the full text is in text-talk, my head hurts.

This just happened to appear in my book-review site the other day:

The importance of nothing:

"We have heard that when it arrived in Europe, zero was treated with suspicion. We don't think of the absence of sound as a type of sound, so why should the absence of numbers be a number, argued its detractors. It took centuries for zero to gain acceptance. It is certainly not like other numbers. To work with it requires some tough intellectual contortions, as mathemati­cian Ian Stewart explains ..."

Normal, I'd hope.

Intelligence is a gift. No matter how much we want to develop it if there's none to develop, sometimes it's not possible. But common sense can go a long way.

We all want to be like Einstein, at least some if not most, but recognizing our limitations is important.

We can't all be scientists. Some are needed to clean bathrooms.

Maybe, Biff, it is not about saving time but about making chances of making typos less. Editing typos is easy on some cellphones but frustrating on some others. I know this because I have both kinds of cellphones.
Not that I type u instead of yoy uou you. Seeee.. typos! laugh
People who type just the letters instead of the whole word I have to consider that being just plain lazy.Back in my day of being in Grade School if I would've wrote down just the beginning letter of words I would've received a lower grade in pennmanship.
The educated does the talk but the intelligent is capable of walking it...
Theory against skills...
That is a very good one Krema.hug
BW

In our education we learn how to make a sentence and a sentence has subject and predicate.....abbreviate " u " as the subject is wrong if I am the teacherhug but if u asked the student why he/she used abbreviated "u"
the answer would be laziness.Yes thumbs up
with you.That falls an intelligent .cheers

thumbs up thumbs up 2 thumbsup for you.
You have a good idea on the topic too.

I wish I have that the same device as u have.
See I always used u instead of you laugh cheers
Education and intelligence go hand in hand.

For instance knowing their are all forms of communication both text or otherwise..intelligence means you can adapt to both without letting it hurt your head..which shows a limited intelligence.

U no wot I mean

grin
So often I notice that some very intelligent people lack common sense. I actually see that a lot. Enough common sense is genius.
wave I got wot u mean DDapplause thumbs up laugh

Agree they pretend to be intelligent but no common sensecheers


I hope I make senselaugh
having knowledge is being intellectual
having wisdom is being intelligent

(That is an extract from something I posted
on CS Poetry Corner a few years ago)


Wisdom and Knowledge
(Author: socrates44)

a cup may contain water
but it is not the water

words may point to the truth
but they are not the truth

form may express the essence
but it is not the essence

knowledge may lead to wisdom
but it is not wisdom

having knowledge is being intellectual
having wisdom is being intelligent

knowledge deals with the parts
wisdom deals with the whole

the whole is more than the sum of the parts
wisdom is more than knowledge

thumbs up Thank you for that great knowledge u have.
knowing information, learned through education or experience. On the other hand, wisdom is when you how to apply your knowledge, for the benefit of others. cheers handshake

Even you are educated from a high standard university bu you don't have good understanding on what u learned ....then what is the end product.teddybear handshake
So you are the one who judges whether one is educational and unintelligent or not? Very self degrading and obnoxious topic.

If you read in between words of my topic
it is very clear that I am not being jungementalconfused Please we just comment whatevet your ideas or opinions we have basing on the topic.cheers
We have the mental capacity to understand.
Thank you.cheers
Was just talking with proffessor in college over a cup of coffee.It was an hour chat that made my day complete.The waiter accidentally dropped of the cake in front of our table .My professor then said "accident can happen anytime"The waiter then was a bit relieved.


Intelligent people are more likely to be better educated. They tend to crave information, have lots of interests to explore. So whether they have formal education & degrees or not, they tend to pursue studies on their own & learn a great deal....cheers wine banana
