I won't say that a person such as you describe is doomed to fail, but I will say that life is likely to be a real b*tch for people like that, especially when they bump up against other peoples experience that differs from their book learning and/or their pet theories.

Help me? I don't need or what your help, nor am I interested in your commentary on economics, etc. So please save your time, its just wasted unless the goal is make me roll my eyes.

Nobody is asking for your advice, why don't you instead address the actual issues? But again, this is the pattern, you make a much of wrong assertions and then you change the topic into how great you are and how other people should be like you.

Cool, I'm thinking you should heed their advice too!

I'm always amused when people think that others should essentially be like them, or that there is a particular way of being that leads to success. I don't know, you guys must have really sheltered lives. Out of all the extremely intelligent, successful, etc people I've known there is no common personality traits. Some of them have been extremely theoretical with their "head in the clouds", some have been very practical, some have been very social, some have been socially inept, etc etc. No commonality at all except that they all build on what they are good at.

There are many places in this world for "theoretical people", there are many places for "practical people", etc.

"Book learning" is no different than any other form of learning, whether information is past down orally, from books, etc its all the same. Without our "book learning" we are nothing but chimps.
