Dear fiftyplus:

To know wisdom and to receive the instruction of wisdom, the fool forfeits.

It is not through intellectual deficiency as in mental powers I refer, but pray tell, what and where was the process that elected this person’s choices to begin with?

People of faith sometimes make choices as observed through their acts of self-righteousness. Perhaps this person feels more comfortable with their choice of UMCP, so be it.

Williams College may not be a better college than UMCP for this person, as it should be. One should not make choices based on ranking, prestige, other than what fits that singular person. Wisdom is not about seeking things or places or institutions, but about knowing what is best for them individually. UMCP may be the best fit for this student.

My reference to that person of faith that chose an unranked school was not made in mock gesture of their faith other than to demonstrate that fools despise wisdom and most assuredly walk in folly. And besides, what attitude did you perceive as uncharacteristic of Williams? I was demonstrating that even Christians with 800’s on their SAT’s choose unaccredited schools because they do not see themselves fit anywhere else. They found what they perceived they needed.

People are defined by the gods they create.
