At the moment if they can't agree on the extension then its no deal come Friday.

They are not looking very agreeable so far

Links please on the EU not looking agreeable.

There no EU appetite for a disorderly brexit

One would expect more highly educated people to be capable of independent thought instead of just accepting what the so-called progressive liberals tell them to think.

Understanding empirical research based on sound methodology is invariably more effective.

And unfortunately IQ tests only measure probability of success in a formal education setting (on the whole) as that is what they were originally designed to do.

The question of which object comes next in the sequence [square] [pentagon] [hexagon] [heptagon] remains the same whether you are sitting in a formal education setting, standing on the African savannah or lying upside down inside a barrel of mollasses which has been dropped from a plane at 20,000 feet.

The fact that a property is difficult for humans to measure accurately does not change the nature of the property. Ice was just as cold before we invented the thermometer as after.

One would. But one would also expect more highly educated people to come up with more plausible reasons to accept what progressive liberals tell them to think.

The brain is just a muscle and bigger muscles can do bigger harm and bigger good in equal measure.

Do you have a citation or are you just bashing them progressives?

Left is more likely to question 'authority's than the right, so you're very much wrong.

The big thing education, especially at higher levels, teaches is critical analysis. Is that article garbage? Are parts of it garbage? Does anything else support it?

The brain is an organ, not a muscle. Weren’t you telling us how well educated you are?

Trying to stop it brings even more political backlash though, making future deals even harder for the EU?

You might have a point but Crashy Time has no power.
Do you have any links to views from anyone who does have power i.e. UK parliament or EU.
Any evidence that any of them want or expect to deny an extension and force a hard brexit on Friday?

Last time there were some reports of macron vetoing an extension.
Any evidence at all? Or just posters opinions?

Solely because of the implication that being more edumacated makes you more intelligent, and it's cheaper to ask whether someone went to uni than giving them an IQ test.

Intelligence is the ability to analyse information and derive the correct solution to a problem, and is therefore inherently objective.

That's because it's true that a higher level of education is a sign of greater intelligence. You can't progress to the higher levels until you have mastered the lower ones.
If you can't analyse the information in Year 1, you don't move on to Year 2.
Generally, the first thing you learn at Uni is that all the stuff you've learned before isn't as simple as you were led to believe.

Getting a bit boring but put up some evidence please.

TM has to ask for an extension because parliament and the lords upheld the Cooper/Letwin motion.

Are you saying EU aren’t going to offer it?
Where is the evidence?
