I'm not talking about just being cool and smart at the same time. I'm talking about the extremes of each spectrum.
There are tons of college geeks who think they're cool, but they're really not all that cool, so they definately aren't "ultimate cool."
There are different styles of ultimate coolness, but I think that probably in the US, at this time, the most recognizable "ultimate cool" is exhibited by certain rappers. There are many corny rappers, even though to the untrained, college, white-person eye, this often goes undetected or unrecognized.
So, for this purpose, let's take the hard, gangsta, thug image as being the ultimate, most recognized form of coolness. And let's remember, not just some dude who dresses up to look like this, but one who really IS this.
Now let's get to the smart part. I'm not talking about just-being-in-college type smart. I'm talking about the far end of the spectrum of smartness. People who study chemistry, physics, biology etc.
