Who is the most learned member of the ORG

[Soulforged]

Actually, if I am reading Soulforged correctly, he is drawing a distinction between education and intelligence. He is labeling intelligence as a native talent and therefor beyond the control of the individual. By contrast, "learned" would refer to those who have studied and acquired knowledge. Learning is aided by, but does not require, intelligence.

However, Soulforged, you failed to define "learned" accurately. When you use the term "learned" are you referring to formal education, to self-taught knowledge, or to direct personal experience. All of these are sources of learning and any of the well-written members above may have one or more quality in their favor.

Thanks for pointing that out . When I don't know something in english i usually take the dictionary. For this case I took the word "erudito", that is mostly "erudite", but I didn't wanted to use that word so i looked for a similar, thus posting "learned".

Psh, psychology is for fools...

Oh, you might be mistaken. Psychologists have a higher average IQ than even other academics. This has been found in several scientific studies done by independent... errh... well, psychologists.

[Big_John]

khelvan seems to be rather knowledgable, persuasive, and loquacious. have no idea who is the most learn'd though.. maybe the accused should post their CVs..

Not here. Psychology in my bit is done mostly by those who received mediocre results, and simply want something to do (since university in Scotland is free (so to speak) to all except Non-EU citizens and the English) Or those who are arrogant, pompous, and want a quick job (there are a great many posts for psychologists here, my school has at least two)

Hmm. Arrogant and pompous seem to be within my abilities. How much chink can I snag in one of these gigs? Enough take-home to make it worth the trouble of securing the appropriate union-card?

What? I'm sorry, I am not quite old enough to know what is meant by your post, and no doubt there are some Americanisms in there too... If by take-home you mean pay, I think it is just about average pay, £20,000 to £40,000 for a simple job, but I'm not sure.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Malc:

Take home = pay after the deduction of taxes.

Thanks (But I really was only joking).

AntiochusIII Indeed, I also respect many non-native English speaker patrons who manage to make sense and hold their own in a detailed, heated debate at the same time. I fail in the latter, though I succeed in the first...

What he said. (Especially as I am someone who could not string a sentence together in any language other than English, let alone carry out a well reasoned and nuanced debate).

Hey, I had only mediocre results as well, are you alleging something

[Gawain of Orkeny]

I cant believe no one has mentioned BP yet

[Sjakihata]

psychology is one of the toughest subjects to enter in danish universities - it requires a very high average. When you get in, though, there's a bonus, 85% of the students, are female

Yeah, with all his knowledge of Nietzsche!

And female psychology students are hot!

[Sjakihata]

yes, most are. in fact, every friday, each subject has its own 'bar'. And I happen to know a couple of girls studying psychology, which gives me a good excuse to show in their bar

[Louis VI the Fat]

Ain't that a coincidence - all that talk about psychology!

Just the other day, I was pondering about a cognitive-systemic reconstruction of Maslow's theory of self-actualization.

Shakihata, you wouldn't happen to have any link to your university so I can check about a following a course on it, do you?

[Xiahou]

Yeah, but I hear they like to play mind games.

Oh man.... Im funny....

[Sjakihata]

Shakihata, you wouldn't happen to have any link to your university so I can check about a following a course on it, do you?

I do, in fact.

http://www.au.dk/en - this is the english version of it, I suppose your danish isnt what it used to be?

more specificlly, I've located the department of Psychology:

happy hunting

[Louis VI the Fat]

Nej, jeg har kun haft en Dansk kæreste på en gang, men det var to år her. Jeg har glemt alt. Men jeg kan stelveg læser lidt Dansk.

Mange tak før linkerne - jeg øsnker et nyt Dansk pige!


My, that gives me a headache. Does it make any sense?

[Sjakihata]

yeah, it makes sense.

je crois que tu parles danois plus mieux que je parle francais, mais je te comprend, et peut-être tu me comprends

au revoir

[Louis VI the Fat]

et peut-être tu me comprends
