I was charged with promoting socially-unacceptable ideas and browbeating a 19-year-old woman. I lasted just over three weeks.

I once saw a Dilbert cartoon that seems apt.

In it, Dilbert asks the leader of a Mensa chapter something like, "If we're all so smart, why don't we rule the world"?

The Mensa leader narrowed his eyes and said "Intelligence is less useful than one might think" or so.

There's no doubt that scientists, doctors and mathematicians are subject to all the same emotions and human failings everyone else is, and it shows in their behavior.

Goddamn, that David Quinn started out as a troll and presumably became more and more inflammatory.

That said, anyone pretentious enough to consider themselves "geniuses" are more than likely to be douchebags of the highest order, so really, who gives a shit?

That was the quintessential TL;DR. Care to reduce all that highbrow claptrap into some bullet points that tell the story?

There's no way I'm reading all those posts.

The whole lot of you come across as a bunch of elitist brats

Anti-intellectualism is alive and well on Reddit, it seems.
