Prologue 4: The Rules

I am not shy to admit it: My intellect is above average. Not far above, I never would have made it at MIT or CalTech, but sufficient. And through the years, I have worked assiduously to maximize my gifts by reading widely and consorting with really intelligent people.

Rule #4: Do Try to Keep Up
First and foremost, I'm writing this to amuse myself. Also to record certain events, characters, and ideas before they fade from memory completely. References to art, history, culture, politics, science, mythology, and goodness knows what else will litter this blog. I'm not going to stop and explain them; you are free to look things up. Denigrating intellectualism has become an American game, one I refuse to play.
