Do people want to get smarter? Do YOU want to get smarter? What do you think it would mean to you?

These come up as questions, because… hell, because I don’t know if they do… If you do… Do YOU?

I don’t think currently living humans appreciate what that question means, I don’t think YOU know what being smart entails.

I think you think that smarts are only

• to win in computer games
• finish homework fast… or maybe even skip doing it… after all smart people just get it! this used to be me…
• entertain and impress people at parties
• if you have little kids… get them to go to bed earlier… that needs smarts, somehow
• if you are still in mating age (I am not), get the other want to have sex with you… or if you are tired… be appeased faster
• get to understand the instructions at work, for DIY jobs, for many thing… understanding is the key word
• oh, and let’s not forget about remembering stuff… that would make you really smart…
