- duxup 4y agoAnd yet not learning is dumb.
- mistermann 4y agoThat is a function of what is being learned, no?
- checkyoursudo 4y agoA lot of intelligence? I know there are lots of things I don't know, and I even know what a lot of those things are, but I don't know that this really takes a lot of intelligence. Compared to a clam, maybe. I am definitely smarter than a clam. Probably.
