Also I wouldn't measure accomplishments by shiny pieces of paper anyways, that's partly what I mean by childlike. You're all stuck in the box and can't even see the bars of your prison.
So, you are saying not even community college? I alter my guess to a high school diploma then.

High school diplomas are for losers. A real man can get any job he wants based solely on the bulge in his pants.

I have a degree and a lot of "education" behind me. But I don't rate my accomplishments on it because school didn't teach me anything, especially anything relevant. My time and money would have been better spent on Wikipedia. Everything important I taught myself.

So why not list them if they do exist? You have posted three separate paragraphs skirting the question.

Because you asked what has my intelligence accomplished. Degrees are a measure of ability to do what you are told, not of intelligence or real accomplishment. I find no real pride in it and don't look at people with degrees as particularly intelligent, besides maybe at the PhD level. And even then, honorary PhD degrees like the one given to Linus Torvalds for creating Linux gains more respect for me than Richard Dawkin's dissertation on chicken beaks). Bill Gates has accomplished more than I have and dropped out of Harvard, but I digress.

The paperwork just gets you passed the computers that filter resumes, personality and real-world experience are what get you the job. And for that my work on open source and commercial products just leads to a boundless portfolio. I have done a lot of good, very intelligent stuff over the years. My laziness to list it all out here does not detract from it when I feel I have nothing I need to prove.

Most people will laugh at this. But, I for one couldn't agree more. Good perspective.

Says he has nothing to prove, cites real life accomplishments to prove himself on elfsim forums. Cognitive dissonance?

Alawen would probably defend putting ketchup on a porterhouse as a matter of opinion.

Stupid hipster tweaker
