What's with mentioning that he went to Stanford law school? This is the second such comment (the other commenter deleted it for some reason). Is someone incapable of having illogical thoughts because they went to "Stanford law school"?

He says this in the video:

> Whenever you hear someone use the word science it's like a tell that they're bluffing

Try to make sense of it.

You said "I wouldn't regard him as intelligent by any means" (emphasis mine). If you don't want people to question your statements, try not to make them so sweeping.

Someone that graduated from Stanford twice is definitely intelligent by some means.

How about not putting words in my mouth? I never said I don't want people to question my statements. Do so all you want.

I just don't pay attention to his Stanford degrees as much as I do to his words. And they certainly don't impress me. Now, you may have a different opinion and you're free to do so. But I don't agree with it.
