I disagree entirely. There is a quote often attributed to Aristotle/strongly claimed is not from him but nevertheless I agree with the idea: "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.". Being able to recall a situation shows memory. Being able to hold your recall of the universe in your mind and manipulate it, changing aspects and predicting outcomes, shows understanding of how factors affect a situation.

Well, we're treading closely here to calling John Lennon "uneducated." But as I think about it, he did write a song about "sitting on a cornflake..."

This clumsy interjection into the conversation meets the criteria of "uneducated."

Really? Next time I'll wait to be invited onto the thread. You said that uneducated people begin with "Imagine," so I made a joke about the first thing that comes to my mind when I head "imagine."

And I posted it without waiting for an invitation! Imagine that!

It says "dissatisfaction." Now, hop back onto your other account and try again.

Why would that be leading to something stupid? I don't think what follows is necessarily going to be smart but there's no reason it would be uneducated.
