form of very flat metric.

But the solution that Leonhardt has in mind is bringing back the SAT,

making it a thing.

And this is good.

This is actually not only a good idea.

It's like a progressive idea, he seems to be saying,

because the argument is that you, that, uh,

strips away somebody's background. It's just numbers and it's like the closest thing to an actual

merit based metric for intelligence. And that should be, that should be why we admit people to

college. I need to interject here to point out for our more webish listeners that Mr.

Leonhardt is not, in fact, the father of Squall Leonhardt, the main character of Final

Fantasy 8.

Are you sure of that?

I'm not sure, actually.

Honestly, it would kind of make sense because part of that story is that he's in like a military college of sorts.

I wonder what Squall Leonhardt's SAT scores were and whether that affected, whether he was allowed to operate the gunblade.

You know what?

We might be on to something here. Are they difficult to operate? I've never used a gun blade. Uh-huh. You know what? We might be on to something here.

Are they difficult to operate?

I've never used a gun blade digitally or in real life.

The fucking mechanics in the video game were pretty convoluted, to be entirely

honest.
