Quit asking me to explain or describe things!

My conversion algorithm for converting pure memories into linear English text is too slow for deep conversation. Or writing five page essays!

At least I think that's the base of my problem, I don't know, that's the best I can explain it within the limited confines of your linear English text.

post or do something similar. I'm just practicing writing hoping it will naturally flow over and get me back into actually writing the essay.

Or maybe my vocabulary is just too limited. I'm going to just start inventing words to suit my needs, Bush will back me up on the importantness of this effortitude.

Memories and emotions are not translatable in words. Words are a radical impoverishment of experience, they are made to trasmit knowhows, practical notions, simple orders in an army platoon or a factory. But there are no words to communicate the universes awakened and brought to conscience by a smell. Two years ago they gave the Nobel for medicine to Richard Axel and Linda Buck, for establishing our capacity to recognize 10.000 different odours. "The sense of smell long remained the most enigmatic of our senses". It still reconnects us with a number of moments of bliss in our childood. Given that the smell apparat of a wolf is at least 100 times more refined than ours, we may think that a wolf's life (and a dog's life) is greatly richer than ours.

I can't smell anything right now, that's how refined mine is.

What I hate is when people ask me to tell them "what the book is about" when I read. This isn't bad if it's a non-fiction book, but when it comes to fiction--aargh! I always end up reading off the blurb on the back because I have no idea how the heck you condense an entire freaking book--with me, generally 300-700 pages--into a few sentences. Why do people insist on doing this?

You think YOU have it bad? I used to speak/write english rather well. EVERYTHING suffered a bit after I tried to really learn another language. The german sentence structure is SO different from english, one wonders how they can be SO closely related. Anyway, I put more thought into speaking, and this is what comes out.

As for Bush inventing words? The democrats have done that ALSO! I read a study speaking about another study which was paid for by democrats, of course.

According to them, all the recent Democrat presidents had IQs over 100, with one being over 180! The recent Republican presidents had rather low IQs, and bushes was the lowest at about 90! The report speaking about that report said that school records put bush over 100. Grated it could have been lower than 130, but that is no reason to call him STUPID! And, frankly, I doubt ANY of the democrats where nearly as smart as claimed for even the dumbest.

Still, a LOT of people say things like nucular. I myself have to think about it being related to the nucleus of an atom. BTW I not only know the names, but can explain in detail how nearly everything works(right down to why parts of a refridgerator get hoter and why computer memory has capacitors on the power connections and why you need locks on a database), whether a refridgerator, computer, or nuclear bomb. I might not have a 170+ IQ, but it is OVER THEIR claimed AVERAGE!

182 .. William J. Clinton (D)
175 .. James E. Carter (D)
174 .. John F. Kennedy (D)
155 .. Richard M. Nixon (R)
147 .. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
132 .. Harry Truman (D)
126 .. Lyndon B. Johnson (D)
122 .. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
121 .. Gerald Ford (R)
105 .. Ronald Reagan (R)
098 .. George HW Bush (R)
091 .. George W. Bush (R)

So clinton is supposed to have an IQ DOUBLE that of George W bush!? What did he use it for? Was it for computing how much the banks owed him for his last minute repeal of Glass Steagle? BTW, if you ask me, to say that clinton is supposedly nearly twice as smart as the average American is an insult to every American in the US! Frankly, if he wasn't using it to benefit the office, I wouldn't care if it was 120 or 400(YEAH, I know, nobody came close to 400. That IS the point.).

That WAS my point.

This is a weird thread. I don't get it.
