When I saw Professor Parthiban’s list of academic accomplishments on Facebook as seen at the top of this post, I was skeptical and amused.

I wrote, “Day 1: Introduce The Speaker…”

That got a few laughs, and after I got back home I sat down and thought, “If that’s legitimate, he’s got to be able to have an interesting conversation even if he crammed for everything.” So I looked around, and verily, Professor VN Parthiban holds 145 academic degrees and admits failure is a part of it.

He’s apparently having trouble with his memory now, which may or not be unrelated.

All that education in one person, an approved and accredited learning model… I would say that this is as close as we could get to a person educated near a size to a learning model used for an artificial intelligence.

What they want to create is an autodidact though. Like me. Quite the paradox.

We’re so silly sometimes.
