Way too effing cool.  The Scientific American rocks its elitist ass.  Speak the truth,  Brother/Sister and AMEN!

     Got the link via Ernie’s 3-D Pancakes, which is always good for mathy stuff, and education stuff…like how to become a graduate student with a low GPA and stuff.

     Anyway, read the first link.  It’s funny and cheering.  

     I for one think it’s high time that the intellectual elite in this country stop running from the label.  They should stand up and say;

     “Yes, damnit, I’m smarter and more educated than you.  I’ve trained my brain, and it works better than yours does.  Sorry, but it’s not my fault.  You could be one of us, if you just applied yourself.   We have a very fine educational system that is open to all, and if nothing else there are public libraries.  They are there for anyone who wants to become part of the intellectual elite.  If you don’t want to, I’m sure that’s fine.  Emotionalism, gut-reactions and divine revelation work perfectly well in many walks of life, and I’m sure you lead a very fulfilled existence…now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to talk to someone interesting.”

     Heh.  That’d show ‘em.
