Let me guess...
I venture you were an underperformer in Middle School, not because you weren't bright enough, but because you were lazy, probably like your academically underperforming parents before you.
And now you justify your underperformance by saying "Who needs intellectuals anyhow?" (Until a spot shows up on your lung xray and then you want a whole phalanx of Harvard-trained phyisicians, starting yesterday.")
I know it will be painful, but here, learn something...
