Most of them dropped out from extremely prestigious institutions because they had a business to run. It's not like Bill Gates couldn't hack it at Harvard so he dropped out and started Microsoft.
- tomjakubowski 8y agoSure, but because he dropped out of school it would be a huge stretch to say Bill Gates is an "academic". It's not a stretch to say he's an "intellectual" though, probably? I guess to GP, you have to be an academic to be part of the "intellectual class." In any case, the comment's point would be way clearer if the poster had expressed it without so much snark.
