Intertel
Some months ago I applied for membership in Intertel. There was some technical problem with the website and I decided to abandon the venture, as my interest was not that great anyway. A couple of days ago I received an email from an Intertel officer, which eventually had the effect that I decided to join Intertel after all. In contrast to most of the other high IQ societies I am a member of, Intertel membership is not free of charge. The annual fee is USD 35. I also had to fill in a form in which I was asked about, among other things, my educational level and my religious views. That reminded me that after all, formal education does play a role in our society and it was not totally in vain that I completed a doctorate. And yet, this is old-fashioned. Society has changed very much in the past few years. In the groups at Facebook where I occasionally spend time discussing about things that interest me, nobody cares about degrees. What matters is whether what you write makes sense.
