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.
