I've always been told that the brain is wired entirely differently. No diet or medicine can change how your brain is wired after it has developed its wiring. I knew I was different by 3rd grade, when it seemed to me that everyone else had a secret rule book that I didn't have a copy of.

Also, I don't want to be cured now. I'm 70 and used to Asperger's. I love my ability to concentrate on research and never give up. I also love my IQ. Since I'm somehow "defective," I look at the general public around me, and they seem incredibly stupid. Perhaps they are. :)

I've also been told that this may be the next step in evolution, even though I don't believe macro-evolution has ever happened.

Kids today are luckier in that people know more. When I was growing up, there was zero help. I was bullied, even by some of the teachers. Today when I talk, sometimes my wife will punch me. I still don't know how I managed to find someone 40 years ago. On the other hand, she was good with special students. She even managed to get a non-verbal student to talk once.

You know that filter in your brain that tells you when not to say anything?

I don't have one. But I have memorized many thousands of rules, so I can act normal most of the time. It's very tiring, so I spend most of my time alone in my home office, and most of that is here on the computer.

I also heard about Carter and then that it was a hoax. People shouldn't do that. He wasn't a good president, but he seemed to be a pretty good guy. He actually went out helping build houses after his presidency, as opposed to all the others who didn't.

Certainly. It may be a while, because I have so many things going on. I'm working on a book for someone else who pays me a lot. I'm also working on my own book. The rough draft is almost 1,300 pages. And then I need to get some part of my data prepared for input. That will vary depending on the model. Also, most of this stuff runs on Linux, and I haven't done much with that yet. I have a small version dual booted on an ancient laptop to play with, but I haven't done anything with it on my main Windows 10 computer.

I'm glad I can read whatever I want, no matter how it's formatted.

BTW, I have written a number of books. The rough draft of my current one is almost 1,300 pages.

I started reading your site. Does it get to Blackrock and the other company that, between them, have their fingers in almost all companies worth anything?

I just started reading it. One poster mentions training an AI on his personal diary.

That's one of the data sources I have. I have a big ass notebook with entries for every single day since I was born 70 years ago. In the earlier days, most entries only list the weather data (high, low, precipitation, unusual winds, and storms). Some list historical events and other events I found interesting. After around 1970, it gets very detailed. I have work days, trips, meals, even gas logs. I have all computer activity logged since my first PC in 1989, including emails, file downloads, and all documents and other files I have created.

On a private system, I could ask the price of gas on a certain day, and the AI could look in my data and tell me what I was paying then. Or what I was doing on a certain day. It would be a big help, as I have no wish to stick everything in my own head. Some have said that your brain is for processing, not storage.

In addition, I have tens of thousands of reference books on my computer that I would eventually want my personal AI to search for me. I'm a genealogist, so AI could help me do research faster. Right now I'm limited by how fast I can type information from various online databases and my collection of books.

Thanks for the link.

No. The photo I saw was just Biden and no mask around. There was a sharp line on his neck, and the skin below was much darker than above and on his face. I have many thousands of saved images on my computer, as Q said to archive everything. I just don't have them organized yet. They still have the random character names, at least most do.

I am downloading it immediately.

She did it to Bernie, and it lost her a lot of votes.

You can't be VP unless you're qualified to be president. He couldn't take over as he's already had his two terms. On the other hand, if a president is incapacitated, and the VP takes over, if that VP's time as president is less than two years, he can still have two full terms as president. If the takeover time is over two years, he can only have one full term afterwards.

Yet Cheatle didn't have a timeline of just a single day.

Some people just complain instead of trying to fix things. If I wanted to keep the above text, I would copy it into WordPerfect and format it as I wish, including highlighting and paragraph breaks.

Perhaps you have some kind of TLDR problem. The "vast majority of people" out in the public also seem to have a TLDR problem. They just don't want to bothered with reading anything longer than 30 or 40 words. Those of us with brains had no trouble scanning through it to see the general content and then go back to read in detail. I was taught that in school. Scan and then read. Formatting is a word processing problem, and most people are not professional word processing people. I actually am one, but I still have no problem reading.

I only see one Irish line, Finegan. Kamala's paternal grandmother was a Finegan.

Strangely, Biden's maternal grandmother was a Finnegan.

Both were Irish. Perhaps even related. They should both join Ancestry. :)

They don't have control, but they could tell the truth about it.

BTW, according to DNA, I'm 100% white. My wife is disappointed in her 100% white, as she was sure she had native ancestry. I had to explain that it would be a generation or two further back than the DNA test could detect.

Almost half her ancestry is black. That's why.

He's close to 50% black, same as Kamala. But Obama is 50% white, while Kamala is 50% Indian.

There was no "Africa" back thousands of years ago. There are theories that Pangaea existed up to the flood, so there was only one continent then. After the flood, people spread out from the mountains of Ararat in current Turkey.

No. Almost 50% black, based on her ancestry.

8 of the top 10 most common last names in Jamaica are of British origin. You would probably be amazed at how many black people in the US have the last names Brown, Green, or Washington.

That was silly of those people. Black people are black no matter where they live or where their ancestors came from. Kamala is somewhere under 50% black, depending on how much white mixed in.

Of course, since Kamala is a bit less than 50% black. Most Jamaicans are black. She has one line of white.

Nope. She's just about as black as Obama. Jamaicans are black. But she does have one white line way back, just close enough to show up in a DNA test. So she's definitely not more Irish than black.

So you may be an exception.

Tip: Whenever I park in a huge parking lot, as I walk toward the building, I occasionally turn around and look toward the car to see what that view is. That way, coming back won't be entirely unfamiliar.
