I think highly of specialists, myself. Sure but I guess the point is 'just' specializing.. so Jack of all trades and master of one (at least) would be you :O) The Black Swan

Solve equations? <I can do all of the things you list, > Well, I guess $1000 - $800 = x Find x .... Vicious rumour has it that you are innumerate, so I can think of equations you wouldn't be solving. And why on Earth would anyone want to write a sonnet, even if they do know what one is? Meanwhile while we wait for TeoTwawki, the dark interregnum, financial reset etc, sing along to "Don't worry, about a thing, coz every little thing's, going to be all right" youtube.com Winter has arrived with a vengeance this morning, after a long nice summer. It's a good day for such a happy song. Meanwhile, global famine looms as biofuels, Greenhouse Doomsters, politicians, economic boom leading to meat eating instead of grain, and high-priced fuel, put food out of reach of the impoverished. Ironically, those people trying to do good are going to cause a huge boom in eugenics - by the law of unintended consequences. In famines, those who starve are those who lack power and those who lack money or property. In general, more or less, give or take a lot, those are the less intelligent people who were unable during good times to get further up the economic scale. So, human intelligence will get another boost up as those less capable are winnowed from the gene pool. I haven't previously thought of famine as a driver of human intelligence, but it obviously is. I'm sure that Greenhouse Doomsters who worried about relocating a few people in Vanuatu didn't intend genocide against millions, but that seems likely to be part of what they cause. I'm all in favour of eugenics, but by women making choices offered by scientists, not by starving people who want to live. We seem likely to get the worst of all worlds. Genocide through famine, high priced fuel and everything based on it, economic depression, and an ice age [which is the real climate concern, not heating]. Mqurice
