In NYC we used to say that and a $1.50 will get you on the subway. Haha. Lots of people tell me that but so far my intelligence hasn't gotten me very far or anything of benefit.

Perhaps You have never determined "where you want to go". Not that you must, but I am sure if you wanted to use whatever knowledge and intelligence you do have to provide for yourself, this could easily be accomplished.

Are you thinking about Ekhart again?

Eckhart is a practitioner. I'm more of a theorist. It's philosophically impossible to talk about the essence of a human being in terms of genetics.

I get by; I would like to 'get by more' but haven't figured out how to do so yet.

This must be discussed further.

Perhaps Dump (Debussey's financial mastermind and legal advisor) will participate in these discussions when his workload diminishes somewhat

They are rare but the best getbig threads are rarely about lifting or bbing.

Being a geek = very very good according to Duck. If Debussey's IQ was above 52, Debussey would be a geek too

With the exception of lifting, all of my interests are geek interests.

I laugh at idiots who say if they won the lottery they would keep their jobs.......really?

Two things. First how about let someone who actually needs a job have yours?

Second...how about doing volunteer work?

Everbody says that BS. How long do you think it's fun having no job and just blowing money?

I guarantee you, the first month it's cool, the 2nd month it's ok, the 3rd month it's boring and after the 4th month you go NUTS AND START THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE!

You can't live without any purpose in life in the long run, it's not human nature!

Hold on there Affemann! I agree with you to a certain extent but if I were ultra rich I wouldn't be doing nothing. I would be writing poetry, painting, drawing and studying Hungarian full time whilst living in a plush flat in Budapest. NOT working but doing things I enjoy...

Who says that not having a job + loads of money means spending time "blowing them"? For people with serious interests there are tons of ways to spend time doing something more rewarding than "going to work".

Let's say you have a passion for painting, yet are still an amateur. You win 20 mill, and you can spend the next 5-10 years painting 3-8 hours daily.

Within that time, you've put in enough work to become a professional (given some initial talent), and you can have a new career doing what you love without having to think about the earnings.

That would be extremely rewarding.

Yes. The only difference is that the money issue is gone and thus you can do whatever you want.
