You Otta Be an Intellectual!

[I less than three logic]

People like educated people who are educated for the purpose of making money. People cannot accept someone who studies, not to make more money, but for the pleasure of knowing.

I accept these people, heck I'm one of these people... at least I perceive myself that way. I may have invested time and money towards an education that I can use to find employment doing something I enjoy and to make a profit off of, but I hardly expect my education to end there. I don't believe this view would be uncommon among the members of this particular forum.

People fear what they do not comprehend.

That isn't true, I don't fear the point you're attempting to make with this thread.

I Less says--" I don't fear the point you're attempting to make with this thread."

Does that mean you do not comprehend the point I am trying to make?

Well, it was a joke, hence the I'd like to say you could read everything I write at face value, but that would hardly be as much fun. More or less, I meant that the thread still seems a bit pointless to me. You may be of the opinion that people don't value learning for the sake of learning, based on your personal observation, but I disagree. Perhaps it is the company we keep.
