^Hahaha, nah, I did not. I do know a thing or two about Philosophy. I've read a book about the history of Philosophy, an interesting book. It's written in the form of a novel, I would recommend it. It's called De Wereld Van Sophie, Slimm. Pick it up if you're interested.

I heard about that one, might pick it up afteri I've finished The catcher in the rye. Any more recommendations to expand my intellect?

I humbly recommend "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.

That looks quite good, thanks for the tip GGGG.

I go to school for 8 hours a day and they couldn't teach me enough in 10 years to let me converse with the intellectuals of TR.

Which is why school is an archaic system that teeters on the brink of complete dysfunction.
However, based on your creative writing pieces, I'd definitely call you an intellectual.

While we're on the subject of books, i've finally got around to reading that Telling Lies by Paul Ekman one you recommended me Zu, (i had a couple of other books to read first), i like it so far, i'll let you know what i think

Trust me, school doesn't teach you as much as self study does. If you're interested in something, look it up, read about it. Guaranteed you'll learn more than you do in school.

I would also suggest books written by Dr. Paul Ekman, they are superb. You'll learn alot about psychology if you read his books.

[Slimm]

Yeah, about books. Has anyone read 'House of leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski ?

Excellent, it's a great book, Sophie. Have fun reading it.

Thats what I've been doing for years. Usually when I find something i know little about I go straight to the interwebs and find out everyting about it. I quite enjoy clicking every hyperlink in a wikipedia page as well, although I doubt wikipedia would be the right source to learn about psychology.

Wikipedia can be quite resourceful, but granted, if you want to learn something you need a book. Wikipedia can just inform so much, whereas a book can go in more detail.

I get A's with little effort for the most part at school. I enroll in tough classes. I'd consider myself smart also but I feel like the school would rather review previously learned material than introduce you to new things every year.

If you guys want to talk about Aves then I could lay down the law on Preen Glands or if you wanted to talk about the Rain Forest's soil I could certainly assist in a discussion on laterites but for the most part those are not interesting enough discussions for TR to hold.

Next time, start a discussion that lies closer to your fields of expertise. That way you can and will participate. Just make sure that it is remotely interesting and I'll be sure to express my views as vivid as I can, Cole.

The thing is I don't even want to talk about this stuff. I blame it on the school.

You asked why people here don't get tired of talking about Eminem everyday.
You just answered your own question.
