Okaay. Can you understand intellectually sophistication if you don't understand discussions of it, maybe sorta like knowing pornography when you see it?

For extreme comparison, I've seen a fair mount of both Obama and a very ideologically narrow and zealous candidate and feel sure Obama has it in abundance and the ideologue does not. That seeing, understanding, and connecting many dots, not just a few, thing. The difference between slotting information into a preconceived world view, and rejecting all that doesn't, and being able to develop it into knowledge, understanding and wisdom?
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
