You Is Smart!
During a discussion with a friend I was lauding the praises of Ricochet (always hoping to get new members) and told her the members were an assorted collection of fun personalities and some of the smartest folks around. She asked why I held that ‘opinion’. I told her it’s not an opinion. That we literally have rocket scientists amongst the top professionals from medical, legal and academia. She replied, “I know a lot of dumb lawyers”. I tacitly had to agree.
So I came home and jumped on The Google to reinforce my point and found this at Alexa.com. Not that everyone who’s gone to graduate school is brilliant, but…
Everyone, please welcome the newest Ricochet member @LisaKoers.

How did they know I never turned in that last term paper?
As one of the lowly “some college” subscribers I feel like I should be offended. Can’t quite pull it off though, since I agree about the intelligence of our members, and this is a pretty conventional way to measure such things.
Oh, but I took one of those click-bait trivia quizzes and it thought I had a PhD.
And I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Welcome @lisakoers.
Welcome Lisa. I’m below average.
(I just like to get that out there upfront.)
Sure glad I got my PH.Cheese.
But you wear it very well.
Welcome @lisakoers looking forward to your first post.
FUN personalities! humorous and entertaining talk…I love it! Thank you for the welcome & I look forward to my daily dose of brilliant conservative conversation!
Rocket Engineers if you please, those scientist are so snobby.
Welcome Lisa!
Welcome to the fold, Lisa. Dave can be pretty convincing!!
At this point on your current project, aren’t you more of a rocket surgeon?
Lisa, welcome to the intellectual equivalent of WWI aerial duels in the blue skies over Ricochet! You’re gonna like it here.
Welcome, Lisa! You’re among friends, so write :)
Welcome, @lisakoers! We’re a mostly fun group. I can’t vouch for the brains being a mere college grad myself but I do understand most of the jokes so there’s that.
Welcome, Lisa! I went to college! And I graduated! I can spel.
Welcome. However, Dave’s take is a wee bit misleading. Most of us are extremely good looking, too.
Ricochet has cheerleader-connoisseur historians, too. ?
Once again I underachieve. I wonder what the people on Gab look like…
Of curse I are smart. I jerned Riko-shay on the firts try. Welcome @lisakoers. You will like it her.
Most lawyers are Leftist, which explains why she knows a lot of dumb ones.
My first thoughts in reading the title of this article made me chuckle & do a Homer Simpson dance… as I am so smart – smrt (watch the video…am I the only one that remembers this?) (doh!)
also, I’m only a university graduate. But working in the stock market & wire houses for 16 years led me to believe @aumom sold gold! Apparently, it’s not so. Good thing I have looks to fall back on as I’m not so smrt…
Welcome in, @lisakoers! Any friend of Dave Sussman’s has got to be a great fit for Ricochet. :-) Please put thoughts to pixels soon….
I know some dumb lawyers, too…
All of the ones in opposition? ;)
Welcome, Miss Lisa. Nobody else will tell you this, but the PIT is the pinnacle of Ricochet.
Welcome aboard! Don’t be intimidated by all the so-called smart people. Smart is overrated, as any quick perusal of the New York Times or Scientific American reveals.
Whether or not the elevator reaches the top floor for all of us, Ricochet certainly offers a lot of communal wisdom. And good people.
Never understood the concept of grad school. I thought the point of graduating was to quit going to school…..
Some folks get addicted and want to do it over and over again.
Coeds.
We knew that about you, Doctor L.
Shuhsh, you! We want newcomers hooked on Ricochet before they enter the PIT.
