....dont think sometimes being more educated than others - makes us ignorant to their ignorance?
Like I was thinking about two friends I have, ones incredibly smart(grades wise) the other one not so good with his english n math n science etc.. lool. But after seeing them both one after the other skool- then after, I notice at skool we mock ppl who arent as smart as others.
But I think alot of us (students) kind of act stuck up and better than people who arent book smart, some say they are dumb-violent-irrational(nerdy types i find tend to say this about less intelligent people) but buzzwords like this kind of demonstrate a persons own ignorance ..kind of..doesn't it?

e.g
I mean if I was to call a hoodied youth blaring music ignorantly loud - a dumbass, (in my head) this kinda shows my inability to recognise him as basically me....but if I born to his family at his time of birth?

Like its going kind of deep now but wouldnt MOST if not ALL of us have turned out the EXACT SAME as another person if we were born as them.....Like mentally - good or bad? In terms of how positive or negative they are? in terms of how they talk? the friends they choose? the influences they follow?
Wouldnt we be just like them if we were them?
So therefore, can we really blame anyone for being them.....(comment below)

    Everyone is intelligent in different ways. For example I am intelligent when it comes to imagination and developing ideas. I understand things logically and have good problem solving skills. At the same time I am not good with academics. Not because of being dumb, but because I learn things very differently than other people. I am not smart at learning things in a typical way, but most people are not smart at the things I am good at or my learning style. I learn best by doing things but don't learn by observing or following instructions. I just don't get how.

    Peoples experience has a lot to do with who they become too, but what you are describing as if 2 people had the same experience would they do the same thing? The answer is no, they would not. That is because everyone has a different brain which are all unique from each other. A lot of traits are genetic. I have similar learning styles as my parents and most people inherent learning and personality traits from their parents whether they like it or not. That doesn't mean you are the same at all, but you are very likely to share features.

    So it's a mixture of our experience and genetics that make us who we are. We are all just brains living in a body we control.

    I think what you are talking about is the nature versus nurture argument.
    IMO, no amount of book smart is half as important in life as common sense, which seems to be in very short supply these days.
    Also, I fail to understand why anybody would accept an educational system which leaves one with a six figure debt and ill prepared for a job that may not even exist after graduation.
