At least quote some good Heinlein.

"Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human.
At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes,
bathe and not make messes in the house."
-- Lazarus Long, from "Time Enough for Love" / Robert Heinlein

This means you Deimos Anomaly.

It is good Heinlein.

If that includes all mathematics then it includes me unfortunately. But
then I am augmented in other ways.

The book is, the quote is contentious at best.

I don't know...I agreed with that sentiment long before I even read the
book, for more complex reasons then what was simply stated.

See, as I've explained before, a defect in my neural tissues in the region
of the brain primarily responsable for mathematical functions does not
operate at anywhere near normal capacity. Mathematically I am functionally
retarded. However my brain has long since compensated by increasing
activity in other areas, particularly spacial sense and creativity. My
reflexes are also well above the baseline human norm. Is this a sufficient
explaination?

I know that Transcend, you have mentioned this at almost every possible
opportunity. However I was making a small joke, which had nothing to do
with any real problems you have, it was directed at the "augmented" part of
your statement.

New sig. For some reason I feel like using song lyrics lately. I've

Just remember Einstin FAILED his math courses.

That's not because he wasn't good at it.

Tesla was eccentric to say the least.

Edison hated Tesla. He invented the electric chair and went on tours
electrocuting dogs to show people how dangerous AC current was. He
believed that everything should be DC. Of course, DC is actually much
worse than AC if you grab an energized line but he didn't realize that.

Tesla was a greater man then Edison ever was, just less recognised. He was
a true visionary, a man WAY before his time. And HE invented the radio
damnit, not Marconi!

Tesla hated Edison with an equal passion, when Edison said "invention is 1%
inspiration and 99% persperation" Tesla retorted with, "If Edison thought
more he wouldn't sweat so much" (or something like that).
