God help us all then Larry.

Some time ago a professor at a famous (very famous) medical school told me that he and his colleagues felt the human brain was in a process of "de-evolution" and that we were losing the power of discernment because we were letting computers do all of our thinking for us.

The inability to sit still and read a book from cover to cover, or to be able to critically analyze what one reads, the inability to render a logical argument instead of reciting some gibberish that is parroted from last night's opinion on any news show, the inability to listen to a Beethoven symphony or any album from beginning to end: these are not seen as signs of mental advancement, they are seen as a sign of mental deterioration.

I am finding myself living in a world where it is harder and harder to find people who actually know anything and make sense.

I guess that is why I spend so much time on this forum.
