Are you talking about yourself??

I am one of the few posters here who will openly admit ignorance when I don't know something. I don't know jack shit about high finance and banking, marcoeconomics, major league sports, stock market, civil and electrical engineering, horticulture, international trade policy, etc, etc.

There should be a calculator on your smart phone.

I always tried to avoid any chemical impairment of my mind. I even gave up caffeine when I realized I had developed a chemical dependency !
