Go check out some of the FB flat-earth'rs. They are serious about this shit. Complete fkn idiots.
I read some people's writing and just hope they are doing like I used to do years ago. I would lead a person or a group I was standing in down logical steps, none of which could be disputed. Since each thing could have more than one answer it was possible for every step to be true and the end conclusion ridiculous. Yet nobody could say any one conclusion was false in itself!
I once worked alongside people of fairly low intelligence who had some strange beliefs. This was a bit weird to me. What was really weird though were intelligent, well educated people, wo had gotten some really strange ideas along the way.
I assume that most full time pool players are fairly uneducated. Probably less true of the younger generations but I think in my early days from the sixties to the eighties it was true. I don't mean to say that pool players were unintelligent, just that they had went down paths that resulted in little formal education.
Efren is a fine example. Almost certainly highly intelligent, also fairly certain he would score very poorly on an IQ test due to very little formal education. We always struggle to discern between IQ and education.
