Imagine,
Just try and imagine being 14 years old.
A fourteen year old girl.
What do you think is important to you.
School, boyfriends, having fun.
And thinking about the last, what do you see as fun.
Then imagine being 14 and having five doctorates.
What would you do if you were suddenly so smart that even the worlds
greatest scientists couldn't follow you when you get going. What would you
do if your brain started getting bigger and better. How would you use it.
Which choices would you, could you make.
Imagine you're an eleven year old kid all your life you've had to struggle to get C's and then all of a sudden you started understanding everything they told you. No explanations required.
How would you feel if they accused you of cheating on tests because where before you had to strain yourself for those C's, now you're finishing in under two minutes and still get straight A's.
What would you do if you started noticing the flaws in your teachers
reasonings, when all of a sudden all knowledge becomes fascinating. When
suddenly computers have no secrets anymore.
What would you do if they got to slow.
Imagine you've always gotten your popularity with your looks and cool jives,
then imamgine your hair starts losing its color and gets prematurely grey.
Imagine you're so fascinated by a mathematical question that you don't feel
like talking about boys any more.
How would your friends react.
Imagine someone tells you you're a mutant and your IQ is so high it's
inmeasurable.
Would you believe it?
Would you want it any other way?
Imagine you're sitting in front of seven televisionscreens and remembering
every part of every show you're watching.
Imagine that at that exact same moment you're modelling an anatomically
correct sculpture of your mother, while you're planning a newer version of
your homemade computer.
Imagine that at the same time in the back of your head you're thinking about
the cures for cancer, AIDS, Ebola and several other major and minor
diseases.
Imagine that even during all that you're studying for your genetics exam
that shown on a screen on your left side.
Then imagine you're still bored cause you haven't got enough to think about
yet.
What would you think enough to keep your mind busy.
Imagine you've built your very own computer.
But you can't market it because it would ruin the livelihood of millions of
people all over the globe.
OK maybe not that many, but still.
Imagine thinking so fast that every movie looks like a seperate set of
slowly following pictures.
How would you see the world if everything seemed so slow.
(Would it be like a movie on slowmotion?)
Wouldn't you get bored.
Imagine you're like that.
Imagine you think so fast that to others it seems like you move faster than
a cat, but to yourself it's like slagging.
Imagine you can read so fast that you could read a book of 500 pages in a
minute and it only takes so long because you have to turn the pages.
Then imagine you've got a photographic memory so you remember everything
you've ever seen, heard, smelled, felt, ...
Imagine you've read every book in the library and you can't read them twice
becuse every point, stripe, letter, ... is forever locked in your brain.
Wouldn't you feel bored?
Then imagine how long it would take you to think about it if they give you a
new mystery to solve.
How long do you think?
