    looking back on that Universe thread luna made. over all the negativity, there were very smart people in that thread debating, now 90% of the time I didnt know what the hell they meant but you know having that knowledge is amazing in my opinion. and Luna to think about the Universe in your opinion like that, is very interesting to me

    I wish I could just sit down and debate about stuff like that. Philosophy and Psychology, mostly the social sciences are what im interested in but I never have the time to read about it.

    I dunno if im being lame or what but I enjoy intelligent people like dave techie and cherea...i just thought chereA was a sex addict lol :p but you are overall a very smart guy. I mean it. both of you are. I enjoy dave's debates and opinions about a lot of things and the best is shaking hands at the end.

    I dont know if you guys feel like this...having more intelligence than you have or find it interesting but hey just a random thought. :)

    in real world situations, you can get a lot of resentment from people for saying things over their head too much. they assume you're intending to show you're better than them. it's really pointless to say something to someone who doesn't understand either. at most, you're just gonna get a lot of nods and "i agree"s.

    and when they start fearing you can actually understand them, they'll try to say something quick over your head or get really pissed off about how you're an idiot

    if they're capable of saying something over your head, they're probably smarter than you;)

    not necessarily. sometimes they just use terms they know you're not gonna understand. or say things in ways that no one can understand.

    the vector doesn't equate to the discombobulated anecdote, dear. ;)

    yeah, i don't have much practice

    if I were gonna do that I'd talk about navier stokes equations (I really don't have the grip on those I should yet)

    but, I don't, I confine myself to concepts I "get".


    Dig it?

    and a lot just have knowledge about different topics. dave might know science more than drugs (im just talking) and i know more about relationships than drugs. of course i just smoke weed. i have no interest on how to grow it or learn about it

    so it depends on that too. most people are just not that interested in a lot of things

    but, I don't.

    I actually have the glass full of water that is aeroelastic control physics, and thermodynamics, and you know what, go read that lunarverse thread

    enjoy.

    have fun.

    i actually don't think anyone here is that "smart" and anyone who believes themselves to be smarter or better than someone else might as well just lay down and die...

    you should (or not) know me better than to take much of what i say overly seriously, i am but a mortal being with many lessons to learn like everyone else...the difference is in how we express ourselves and what we choose to focus on.

    like i give a fuck about quantum physics, and if it should ever arise that i need that knowledge bad enough the universe will guide me to what i need to know.

    smart, intelligent, whatever you want to call it, it's just a way for people to build themselves up.

    as i and many others have said before, a truly wise man knows that he knows nothing at all.

    it is a way to be utility.

    one who possesses no knowledge is without utility.

    without utility, we are nothing.

    it precisely discounts your point.

    unless, of course, you'd care to learn some compressible fluid dynamics. and some materials engineering.

    because, I'd really like to have a discussion with you about the elasticity of different carbon fiber compounds (using different resins, and different curing techniques) because, dang me, I just don't have an autoclave out back, and someone to bounce ideas off of could be useful.
