: hahaha, interesting words coming from one who brags about his psat scores, which mean absolutely nothing.

Actually, I no longer brag about my PSAT scores. Now I brag about my SAT scores. If you didn't see the post where I mentioned it, I got a 1600.

: you make a good point, however it's incorrect. i've also been alive more, thus, it is reasonable to assume that i've had more experience than you, and thus, more education, formal or otherwise.

I am more intelligent than you are, thus it is reasonable to assume that I have derived more from my experience than you have. For instance, I read more proficiently than you do, as evidenced from my SAT scores, although I have had less time to learn how to read than you have.

: do not underestimate the informal education that one recieves in an undergraduate program. in addition, i've held a real job for longer than you have, and have paid my own rent and bills for the last 2 years. (more informal education.) i'm also willing to bet that i've had more experience with women than you have.

How much experience do you have chopping wood with a splitting maul? Creating your own theories of the world? Typing 100 WPM?

What does paying rent and bills have to do with education? The moral platitudes that one can derive from such experience can be stated in a few sentences. Paying rent and bills isn't much education.

: but i'll be more specific, since i suppose you DID ask for specifics, after all. i can solve schroedinger's wave equation for an electron within a periodic boundary potential. i can do more calculus than you can, which i've demonstrated by acing a class on e&m which used vector calculus extensively.

That's one narrow area. And my education about basic math ideas, again judging by my SAT scores, is superior to yours. Therefore it's reasonable to conclude that I will soon be able to do more calculus than you, and from that we can conclude that my education about basic math ideas outweighs your education about calculus.

: so, to restate my previous assessment, i am more educated than you are.

So, to restate my previous assessment, your previous assessment is bullshit.
