  I don’t know if I agree with that statement but I guess it depends on what your definition of “smart” is. Someone can lack education but be pretty mentally sharp in some cognitive tasks regardless.

    I don’t think the two statements are mutually exclusive. There’s certainly a difference between education and being smart.

      There is absolutely a difference between education and being smart.

      These statements aren’t in disagreement

  You can surely back this claim up with some sources? Otherwise it would be kinda ironic, don’t you think (now this girl is singing in my head.)

    There’s not really a way to “source” this until a scientist decides to create a longitudinal study on how people to refer to themselves. I’ve never seen one. I think this one’s going to have to pretty much remain a personal experience kind of thing for now!
