@johnbudd1350 @MelGibsonafter4Beers @Floydian_Psychology @billy_hughes @MightyWhitey I can proudly say I have never liked Radiohead. At least when a Tool track or a Mars Volta tack spends 10 minutes slowly building to something that something is satisfying and interesting.

@Frondeur @WashedOutGundamPilot Surgeons are stereotyped as the chudliest of all doctors, a diagnostician would be the book worm academic type. Surgeons min max into dexterity, constitution and concentration. You might as well be getting the opinion from a race car driver or a master woodworker. I'm sure he's smart and that he had to do plenty of intellectual stuff in school that he hated though.
Not that I'm at all impressed with modern academia or against practical learning/craftsmanship at all. I just think books are useful even if they can very easily be used for propaganda and the same is true for every medium from sculpture to music to VR simulations.

@Frondeur @WashedOutGundamPilot I dunno even when I have "pristine knowledge" (as opposed to outright ignorance) it's incredibly (to borrow a phrase from the danger hairs) validating and empowering to learn about it in a book later. Little things like my technique for recovering or some of my lines in Forza being described by Skip Barber in his racing book (that I read on the toilet). It didn't ruin my pristine knowledge of late apex turns, it taught me a name for them, helped me make sense of why they work where they do and where I might employ them elsewhere... and then it taught me about off camber turns and why I get understeer at Silverstone.
The 'pristine knowledge' helped me assimilate the theoretical knowledge quicker and was not erased in the process.

@WhiteDissidentRadio @KashKustomer @Boomerman @chudbere @Evma_Alsar @txt @porsalin It's 100% a white boomer thing.
Fixed it for you. I love my Vette boomers, they help me keep my shit on the road but their love of chromed battery boxes and 30mph parades cannot be denied!
