Now on ScienceBlogs: "Global Warming is not real because weather patterns have stabilized in the last 10 years!" Why statements like this need a little context.

Smart people suck

Category: Prime Stream

Smart people suck when it comes to financial health. One study* has apparently showed that although smart people earn more, they spend more too thus justifying this blog post's title.

Posting this has been therapeutic. The study* and its conclusions make me somewhat happy considering the level of my own intelligence.

*a financial study. I'd rather call this data mining than a study (even when you call my attention to the IQ test data). Aren't financially smart people 'smart'? Accepting this would undermine the premise of the study. Slippery slope, this study is. You slide on. Happy landing.
