I disagree
Wisdom yes but not intelligence

You don't want to meet my mind in the dark at 2am. Even in the light of day you will walk away scarred.

Not sure I agree with this. While I am all for self education, many who learn without guidance tend to be really confident about things they are wrong about. You also tend to see the Dunning–Kruger effect come alive in these instances. That said I do know some who defy this logic.

Anyone can prattle off a set of things they've learned or read. It starts to sound like a script.

Raw intelligence is also a view I to the cares and passions of a person. What makes then tick, what do they do and where do they go when no ones watching.

Everyone can say they want to save the world, but what part of it do they really pay attention to?

What exactly would a specific time has to do with it?

Really.

Books lend language to what is understood, even uncover mysteries as they are written. Still words did not step this persons walk or breathe this individuals life. Dare to know the unwritten stories and admit you learn mostly from them. Taste life

Wtf is "raw intelligence " seems like a bit of an oxymoron to me.

this sounds snotty and anti-intellectual. what does being well read have to do with sitting behind a desk? does reading books prevent people from having raw intelligence? and what's so great about raw intelligence that has nowhere to go and is unfulfilled? i don't want to introduce this deluded memewriter to my mind. s/he wouldn't appreciate it. some of what's in it -- not all but some -- came from books.

Sit on the rooftop at 2 am????....who are you, Dick Solomon??

Doesn’t sound like an appealing contact to me. I think I’d be more comfortable with someone who had a decent education and could have an intelligent discussion on a variety of subjects, along with the interest and ability to learn and explore something new.

I want both. Can I get both?

Sounds like a perfect date to me.

Depends on the individual. I have a master's degree and yet I have traveled, been in the military, worked on a farm, done masonry, repaired houses, taught English and other topics, did counseling, and a multitude of activities and sins. My best friend for many years, now passed from us, was a welder, who grew up on the streets, had a me too moment plus, and helped keep me sane in this crazy world. He was bright and articulate and didn't get his GED til 40. So, yes, each person has potential to go many ways. (Although I wonder about that thought and Trumpites)

Yep, I'll take raw intelligence over bs'ing your way through college (which is what I feel I did) any day. Think, read, and keep up on current events. That's enough for me.

hmmmmmmmmmm
...choose between Neil deGrasse Tyson and the maintenance worker at Burger King.....
decisions, decisions.....

I'll take my chances with the educated crowd.
Yep.

PS. Very few educated people actually have jobs that chain them to desks. You know who sits behind desks? All those call center workers and telemarketers who didn't go to college.

Let's all take a moment and be grateful that doctors, dentists, opthalmologists, engineers, nurses, teachers, film directors, musicians, artists, architects, designers, business managers, bankers, attorneys, geologists, news reporters, technical directors, physical therapists, pharmacists, research scientists, chefs, military officers, computer programmers, etc. all took the time and effort to go to college and get an education.

When people make wide sweeping generalities like this meme that is basically an insult to everyone who has gone to college, it's to mask their own feelings of insignificance and inadequacy. This is just another form of divisive discrimination.
