Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.
Bertrand Russell

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.

This is the thing about assumptions. There is a lot of assumptions about my opinion on education but none of you know what my opinion or my education levels are. Am I willing to go there? No!

Somehow stupid arguments pulls the rug from underneath those that so gets "cracked up" by it.

So the GR is still bullshit and moving outside the box is the way I'm happy to be. You can call me whatever you like but fact remains that I disagree!ROFLOL

If your signature quote happens to say that men are made stupid by education, then anyone's view on your opinion of educations is not an assumption but a reasonable deduction.

So, you think the golden rule is bullshit and yet you post an article about something that advocates the golden rule. Am I the only one sensing stupidity here?

Sure you're the one sensing stupidity, but there could be many more like you. It does make your sensing any more or less valid if you keep missing the point of the argument.

Actually that makes two so far that have deduced from your signature and also things you have said in other threads that you seem to have beef with higher education. That's just that I know of, and if I look through those threads a bit closer, that number will probably be higher.
