I like the dumbness ,,,. I have to read something around 10 times before I understand it . And I don't always understand what you smarty pants are always talking about but I am quick with many other things except what you are thinking of right now . I never have a quickie ,,,only a longy
.
While doing professional Car Racing some 20 years ago , I had a team manager . He was a Computer Engineer or something and worked for the Government in Computer Services as a manager . I know he could write programs . His wife was a Genetic Engineer and worked at The Sick Children's Hospital . Both very well educated people from top University's in England .
Me , a college education in the HVAC trade . It was hard for me but I was able to pass all my test's and get all my licenses .
Anyway my manager was a huge racing fan and I was not and probably am still not . I prefer to be in the race than watch it . He could not drive a race if his life depended on it and I could . Both him and his wife were huge fans of racing and saw something in me that told them I would be quick . I don't like to use the brakes often while racing lol and that was kinda my reason for being able to go faster than other drivers .
My point here is that they were both super smart and I was of average of intelligence's but could handle machinery at high speeds . They were both baffled as to how I did this . My explanation to this is that I cannot multitask . I have to do one thing at a time . Even though when in a race car you are doing many things at once ,but to me it was all one fluid motion . GreenFlag for Start of race !!! Accelerate , up-shift , watch mirrors , feel car traction through butt and steering wheel,shift just before redline , check mirrors for positions of other cars , adjust position of vehicle for first corner , brake or not accordingly , keep steady acceleration through corner while feeling for under-steer and over- steer ,correcting for entrance ,apex and exit point , watch mirrors , listen to engine or glance at the tachometer to up-shift ,keep accelerating , up-shift , place vehicle for next corner, check mirrors , out-brake competitors or no brakes , turn in at proper time , grab apex while feeling vehicle movements by seat of pant's and steering wheel and so on and so on .
Now you are thinking to yourself ,,,what do you mean !!! . You are so multitasking !!! . Yes and no . Like I mentioned before it was one action to me . The car and you are 1 and you are just making the car do what you want it to do .
When you are typing your responses can be compared to this same action that I speak of . You just type what your mind is telling you to type without really telling your fingers what to do ! . Same process while driving a car fast . It really is just that simple
Now as far as my manager ,and his skills I watched him talking on the phone to someone while taking notes and doing something completely different on his computer monitor typing while not even looking at the k-board . Now to me ,,, that was amazing to watch . Now this will really amaze you . My managers wife kept the timing laps of every vehicle on the racetrack at every race I was in . I did a 24hr race once and there timing clock broke sometime during the race . The officials of the event kept coming to our pitt area as she was the only source of timing for the track officials . There were more than 60 cars on the track at the time . GT1/GT2/GT3/and showroom stack vehicles . She calculated all the lap times of all those vehicles without any mistakes or confusion . Now that is super multi, multi multi tasking or what . When I saw her do this she had a multitude of stop watches at her disposal . WOW ,,, . She was and is the Timing Goddess of racing
I could never ever do that but I am sure some of you here probably could do that if needed . I am here correcting spelling constantly , trying to get my point across also but have blocked anything else around me at this time . The morning radio is playing ,not listening, my wife just told me to get my son's butt in gear to catch the bus , and she had to say it a few times lol ( normal male here perhaps ) . I've had to stop my story here and help with his departure which is what any good husband and father should do anyway .
If a TV is on or a something or a screen somewhere near me within viewing distance , you will loose me in conversation as I completely focus on that screen and not hear one thing anyone says to me . My manager had to turn the TV off anytime I was at his house so he could have a talk with me about next weekends race or after a race . He and his wife for the life of them could not figure out how I could be so fast in a vehicle while not showing very high intelligence while in conversation or always easily being distracted . Serious ADD I guess as it now has a label . Back then you were the class dunce or class dummy . I tried my hardest to be a good student but often was sent to the office or the corner or given the strap . But throw me on a motorbike , skidoo , car , airplane or what ever and I would ace things like that . I guess we all have our talent's . Some with showing a high intelligent s and others with showing a not the sharpest tool in the shed intelligence's but getting along through life just fine thank you very much
So for someone like me I like the dumbing down a bit as I will probably still have to watch it a few times to grasp what I am being told . Perhaps also children may grasp this better also .
Don't get me wrong here either as I think of myself as very intelligent and a very good problem solver . Just don't put a TV in front of me and I might just listen to what you are telling me .
Go Cosmos !!! Woohoo !!!
