Suppose you know you are an idiot, what profession should you choose?

  1. There should be. The reason society has problems is because not very many people are exposed to the idea that they may really be idiots and have to adjust their actions accordingly. This is the public education special snowflake effect.

  4. There is, my former son-in - law wrote the book based on real life. Proof being an imprimatur of everyone who has crossed his path since birth and continuing to do so, (God why do I bring him up).

    One classic example from the vocabulary guide.

    Chablis, rhymes with jobless. AND he fricking argues with me.

  7. This is actually a great macroeconomic question, maybe not framed well but so relevant...

    ...where do the "idiots" fit in the picture? Sure there is limited opportunity in management, politics, as mentioned above...but where do the MASSES of idiots go?

    We've (they've?) priced themselves out in the global labor market...

    We have just created a massive population of "unskilled labor" via job losses in manufacturing AND in in so many finance jobs...areas within banking that will no longer continue to exist in their bloated form...

    Where do the idiots go, what do they do?

    If I'm an idiot, what should I do??

    The west now has a very rapidly growing population of people who can't do anything useful...

  9. If you're white, maybe. It took Jindal a Rhodes scholarship, a hurricane that destroyed a city, and a change of religion to pull this off.
