This (nameless) poster is looking for recognition, and adulation.

Thought about what you said. I was once a math tutor at a small rural high school about forty miles from Colorado Springs. A lot of the students were the children of ranchers and farmers, and some told me their father said math wasn't important.

I think what the Omaha farmers and ranchers saw in Rand's heroes were their independent and individualistic characters. It matched their own. The philosophy itself? Nah.

Only because these American farmers and ranchers WERE independent and individualistic could they have created a new and free nation.

Anyway, what does perception by others have to do with anything? Are not we Gulchers self-sufficient of ego?

Honestly, D, I don't have much concern about how smart other people think I am. And I believe you are referring to my post where I stated I have been called a mathematical genius and polymath. You are assuming I did that to show people how smart I am. Your assumption is wrong. There are people on other forums who read what I post, and were saying that those without college degrees are neither knowledgeable nor intelligent. That particular post was for them.

My point was, which they probably didn't get, was that one didn't need a degree to be thought intelligent or knowledgeable. These people are mainly black Americans who don't understand the meaning of Nullius in Verba. I think I posted a topic referring to that.

And anyway, I did preface my posts of, as you assume, 'self-adulation' with that very question: can one be considered to have knowledge if one does not have a college degree? In actuality, it was one black president, so-called, who figured I was not as intelligent as himself, yet considered me an advisor, or mentor.

And please, for God's sake, do not go posting insinuations that I am a name dropper. Motive and intent for myself are not the same for you or black Americans.
