Ya, that is indeed true. I just wish more people thought that way.

I find too little info to be more frustrating than too much info that my lethargic self ends up having to wade through.


I find it annoying because it implies that someone is not motivated to A. Do the research or B. Dosnt care about the minor details.

It depends on the information being provided. My wife is a natural storyteller....filled with all sorts of crap that has nothing to do with the story other than adding color. I constantly find myself telling her to skip to what I asked. So, I grade the information and how much importance it has to my query.

Business wise, load me up in a concise manner everything I need to know and I'm good. What's happening now is that everybody wants to be as vague as possible and just throw crap at you. No written followups, no taking the time to make sure the information is not contradictory, no planning. It seems that they don't want to be the one to be responsible. They just toss it out there and then lay blame when things go sideways on a project. There is a lack of ethics and accountability that is creeping into our (American) culture that I find very disturbing. Even had a few students try to plagiarize work on a few occasions.

Yeah....not so sure about the highly educated thing. Here's why: I have only a HS degree but teach college. So, my hedging on that is that I find some people who do not get degrees can still be highly educated. Just no diploma to prove it. I think education is a lifelong pursuit and not just rifling through Cosmo or Playboy. Can't tell you how many arty types I wanted to punch in their holier than thou attitude concerning this.

IMHO you are highly educated at least compared to me. Socratic method or some other autodidact method still equals high education, just of a novel type self-administered.
Tell that to the snobs that 'require' you to call them Dr. Seriously? I get that you're educated and I get the work involved and dedication. But, whoa.....you ain't taking out bad things and putting people back together.

And, those doctors can be their own brand of snobbiness......

but remember that not all aspies have your extended attention span, either. some of us really have to struggle with reluctant frontal lobes.

I read about somebody who ostentatiously demanded to be addressed as "doctor" when he was on an airplane there was a medical emergency and he had to tell 'em he wasn't a "medical doctor." :lmao: talk about being hoist upon one's own petard. and you haven't seen pretentious and prima-donna until you've seen a neurosurgeon [such as ben carson who is an insufferable snob in my book].

Yep...known a few surgeons in my day. Here is the dichotomy that stumps me here on this: I hate being around that type of person (not the profession, the type we are discussing) as they really think that they are superior in every way. But, I don't want some guy cutting me open in an emergency and him/her thinking....ok...maybe I can do this....we'll see....

Oh hell no!! I want that person to BELIEVE that they are that good. I actually got "House" and his attitude. But, most are just not that good. And, I don't mean not as good as s fictional character. They just are not that good on any scale.

you can be competent/confident AND modest all at once, it is not impossible, but rare for sure. my template for that kind of competent modesty, is the late great surgeon general c. Everett koop, a towering soul and moral exemplar.

I've found that a lot of really highly educated people aren't that smart. Colleges and universities must have low standards. I don't want to feel like I'm smarter than my doctor; it doesn't make me feel safe in their hands. Yet I've had a few that were not as intelligent as I am. And I'm not a genius.

they are smarter in a worldly way, smart at gracefully negotiating and jumping through the hoops of life and the money/academic/credential system.

Didn't say i wanted that Doc to be a Dic....I just want them to be that arrogant inside or outside. But, when I'm not in the hospital, yeah....you're not better than me out in the rest of the world.

As for the competent/confident AND modest thing, well....there is a resason those people stand out. They are that rare...sadly.

Nope, all you gotta do is pass the exams. Most just get the information long enough to pass. Most do not try to build upon their lessons for a greater collective knowledge. As for standards, well, most colleges are so busy trying to get the almighty dollar, they are actually afraid of their student body. I got one of those emails from a student with a one sentence 'apology' with a three paragraph diatribe describing how she was right after all and what her demands are from the school.

Seriously? You don't want to waste your money? Then shut up and actually learn that at 18 or 28, that person who is there teaching should be there because they actually know something. But, even that is eroding. Many colleges these days are not taking experienced people who do not have degrees. They will only take people with degrees. So, that means some idiot fresh out of school, with no experience is teaching people.

So, yeah, higher education is in the pits here overall......

And this too:

Totally agree......

I find it annoying because it implies that someone is not motivated to A. Do the research or B. Dosnt care about the minor details.

but remember that not all aspies have your extended attention span, either. some of us really have to struggle with reluctant frontal lobes.


Ya, I guess I didn't consider that... I have a very good attention span and memory. But everyone is not me.

you can be thankful for your youthful strong supple cognitions :star: but beware that as one ages one has to do active system maintenance to keep it strong and supple.
