Intelligent people, more than anyone, understand how little they know. It's often people that know little that think they know everything.

I have been consistently expanding my social circle for the last 4 months or so, and frankly it's the happiest I have been. There is literally no store in San Marcos or chill out place where I don't run into someone I know and have a short convo each day.

Today I had about...8 or so of those moments, and I was barely outside. It is great to feel like a celebrity almost with how happy people are to randomly see you again.

I'd say that smarted people interact on their own terms rather than needing to be in a herd and 'entertained' en masse....
That's an entertaining thought.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

I am constantly reading, across multiple subjects.  I have always done that.  That improved my language development, because I liked to read good writers ... mostly non-fiction too.  Skill is practice, practice, practice.
That's the thing I admire about you, Baruch. You probably have one of the broadest knowledge bases, of anyone I know. I know some prolific readers, but they're usually fiction readers.

Nothing wrong with fiction, or reading or writing fiction.  My daughter enjoyed writing fan-fiction when she was a teen.  It exercises the imagination.  But if all you do is exercise your gonads. you aren't getting a full workout.  Fiction to non-fiction is like sugar to meat.  A little sugar goes a long way.  I am currently working thru the 6 books that translate the Star Wars movies into Shakespeare.  Forsooth, yonder I see the Death Star ... fie upon thee, Darth Vader!

What are you doing?
Are you taking any medications?
Don't do that.

I saw those in the book store, but I'm not much of a Star Wars guy. I'm more of a Trekkie.

Write your own fan fiction then ;-)

I have a shelf-full of Star Trek books.  They are generally better than the original series shows, which themselves were underated. Granted they are only 3' of the 60' I have of sci-fi books in general.

I dont agree with this one. id question a person  if they said i had a high iq just as i would if they said low. but i dont hang about large quantities of people.

I don't know about this either, but my social circle is on the order of 1, and I have an IQ somewhere in the range of this guy:
