If you are American, you have to be an Ivy League graduate and/or have a PhD. PhD candidates are allowed after their first year.
If you are from somewhere else, your country's equivalent is required.
I am truly tired of talking to uneducated people on the internet. I already have to cope with them in everyday life, so I would like to this thread to be an oasis for our beloved brains.
So, to what extent do you think Kahneman's behavioural finance can be related to early Nietzsche?
[edit] I corrected the spelling of Kahneman (in French we would spell it with a double n)

Schools are brain-farms. The smartest people I know learned what they did outside of it.

Well, much as I like the attention I think you've had enough for now.
Just wait til I get my notes on Monday.

Very fine strutting, indeed.
I was making a joke. In the States, at least, "it's all
Greek to me" means "I don't understand what you're
saying," so I was, you know, making a jo ... never mind.

No, Greek would be Apolyterion, Cyprus also. The Maturitni is Czech, the Erettsegi is Hungarian.
How's that for strutting?

I'll look at your WAEC's, but you're nothing without an OND.
However, show me a Maturitni Zkouske, I'll be a happy man. Even an Erettsegi.

You think that? A degree from the Philipines is an entry requirement to an undergraduate degree at a low-ranked university in the UK. Some of the higher-up institutions will consider a Masters from Bangladesh equivalent to UK A-levels or a US High School Diploma.
Do NOT test me on international qualification equivalencies. You wouldn't want me to wield my Lithuanian Brandos Atestatos, or beat you down with an Israeli Bagrut.

In France we have Grandes Ecoles that are kind of comparable to Ivy League (only much better)
I will show you fear in a handful of dust
Does Montpellier's business school is a grande école?

It is certainly way superior to other institutions from abroad (such as Harvard etc), mainly because it's French.

Well, when the intellectuals come for me I will be sitting at my desk with a gun in my hand wearing a bullet proof vest singing my, my, my how the time does fly when you know your going to die by the end of the night!
Lets talk about the unified string theory? Maybe speak in Esperonto to foresake the lesser thans. We can recite pi until we loose track of where we are or take a mega bottle ride for some fun.
What is your Mensa membership number? Are you really in the top 2 percentile of the world's population?
Ha! Mensa don't give out membership numbers! You get a tracking device implanted in your ass for safe keeping.

Great point, floop. We will use French pastry as our litmus test.
Perhaps one of the "highly educated people" can explain why Mille Feuilles are called Napoleons in the US.

How intimate with the British educational system are you Monsieur? Also, your desire for intellectual conversation is limited by your view of intellectualism, there is plenty of scope for "high" conversation in many of the threads but you seem to be limited to your field which I think is warping your view, and closed mindedness is not a sign of intellect to my mind.
