Default Proof: School and Wealth doesn't equal intelligence

Kyrie Irving graduated high school, went to Duke and has made millions upon millions dollars, yet he believes the earth is flat and dinosaurs are faked.

If the Dinosaurs were faked I really want to be at the party where they're all having a good laugh because in the grand scheme of hoaxes that one would have to win.

Uh, I'm sure his "education" comprised of finding ways to not go to class so he could play ball. Lets not pretend he actually has an education. So basically, money doesn't buy intelligence. No ####.

Was there a wide held belief that playing a season of basketball at Duke and making a bunch of money in the NBA equated intelligence?

There are very intelligent people that believe untrue things, it's almost like there's more to forming beliefs than just intelligence.

I'm sure the Duke coaches and administrations bent over backwards to make his schooling as easy as possible. Priorities, people! Basketball!

If you are going to make fun of someone's intelligence, you probably shouldn't have horrific grammatical errors in your thread title. The number one rule when using a colon, is to have a complete sentence to the left of the colon. The second rule is the first word after the colon should not be capitalized, unless it's a proper noun.

Hah, yes... I was expecting a peer reviewed study. Instead I got a youtube video. That I don't even want to bother watching. "Professional athlete is really dumb, news at 11."

As wrong as he may be, he doesn't seem like he's pushing his views on anyone. He just encourages people to do their own research. Fair enough. Crazy guy, but fair enough.
