Now that you mention it I think you might be right. I always thought that "boss" thing came from prison culture.
No, it's generally a diminutive.

Like "sport" or "big guy".

I can remember hearing it when I was a bit younger and I'd be in a store and some sales person would use it towards me (rare)

"Help you find something boss?"

and I'd completely ignore them.

"The Degree'd Barista's at my local Starbucks are all exceedingly intelligent"
Starbucks coffee is vile and their business plan is monopolistic. I have a better picture of your problem, Lance.
And 'appropriating' Steve McQueen's likeness for your avatar is pretty lame.

"Degree is no measure of intelligence"

You have a better measure, Ifellato?
Getting a degree requires applying oneself to a course of study designed, in nearly every instance, to challenge the intellect, to develop reasoning, to distinguish fact from fiction and absorb evidence based, scientifically verifiable information. Those seeking higher education typically begin learning long before entering a degree program, because you don't get accepted to such a program otherwise.
Scrolling through the list of 500 legal scholars who signed the letter, I come up with roughly one in five of them as distinguished law faculty, holding eminent, chaired positions within their respective law schools.
Disregarding the opinion of the highly accomplished, the demonstrably intelligent, the widely experienced and capable among the population leaves you with what? Con men, thugs, sycophants and celebrities to run things?
There are countries that are run that way. Maybe you should spend some time in one or more to see how it's working out for their citizens.
:ROFLMAO:

Who do you think runs things in this country? Con men, thugs, sycophants and celebrities

Know lots of people without degrees that have much higher IQ's than people with advanced ones.

Know plenty with degrees who can't think their way out of a paper bag.

Ask Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mark Zuckerberg, James Cameron, Tiger Woods, how their lack of degrees held them back and made them dummies.

Fascinating. Did you conduct the testing? Personally witness documentation? Rely on their self assessment?

Smart or dumb isn't the point. Governable is the point.

The perfect political perspective will fail if the people don't support it. Meanwhile we can look around all over the world and see examples of really horrible political perspectives which continue to thrive because of how many people support them.

It's the people who count, not the ideological purity.

Intelligence is about nature. Nurture can add a few points re familiarity with testing, but you can't take an idiot and educate him to even mediocrity.

I went from idiot to mediocre.

Getting a master's helped.

But I'm definitely an idiot.

But I also have retard strength mental willpower when I want something.

Hyper-compensation triggered by the awareness at a neural level that a catastrophe has occurred in the genetic lottery in the cognitive dept. :poop:

Of course more education makes most people "smarter", IQ or not. Nobody is arguing that.

But just because you have a degree in some obscure major (gender studies, puppet arts, etc;), doesn't make you smarter in things that matter to most, let alone paying the bills with.
