I enjoy all of the "I know plenty of super smart people that do/do not....blah blah blah".
Programmers are a dime a dozen. People act like they are a super smart group. I watch them come and go through different sites all over the world.
Actual engineers who really are extremely intelligent are not going to smoke pot. They likely hold high level clearances because they work on gov't funded projects(lots of money), and get drug tested, polygraphed, etc on a regular basis.
Even upper echelon IT support is still IT support. They are mellow because it's a brain dead job.

actually you are right. The people I know work in aerospace and defense. They have a laser in space that can shoot down a missile

Although I suppose we can start a name dropping contest over PM (since that really shouldn't be a public conversation) I can see we've got different viewpoints and this really will just go nowhere. Same with Paul.
We're both electrical engineers IIRC (You from Cal and me from Stanford) so let's assume the other has a certain baseline level of intelligent reasoning to justify our opinions.

jK good stuff But can you honestly say your EE degree can hold a candle to a doctorate in physics from those schools? (I am not calling you dumb in any way. I am sure you know this but I just want it to be 100% clear)
I have my two bachelor degrees. I still say they look dumb / like toilet paper compared to a doctorate in fluid and thermo dynamics physics.
I didnt name names. But we can start with stephen hawking
