Just Ask Oldguy

What proccesses happened in my brain that caused me to ask this question? How does the brain make a decision?

How can you tell if someone is in a “learning moment’?

Is it bad for my eyes to watch TV or some other projection for a long time?

You mentioned learning moments earlier. Are there specific moments in a person’s life in which they must learn something, and if it isn’t learned, it cannot be learned later?

Dear Oldguy,

How much does environment influence intelligence? Are most people born with the same intellectual promise?

Dear Oldguy,

Would reading for long periods of time ruin your vision? I have trouble with focusing. Can you retrain eye muscles?

Dear Oldguy,

Is staring at the everpresent glow of the computer screen for extended periods of time truly bad for your vision, or is this merely a parental myth?

Dear Oldguy,

If people are asking you for advice, aren’t they depriving themselves? It just doesn’t feel right to be getting answers from one who already knows.

What exactly are you trying to say at the end of that answer Oldguy? If that actually makes sense to IM addicts, you have illustrated your point beautifully, as an English speaker, you lost me after “You see time waits for no man but…”

As an aside Oldguy, you should try expanding your speaking vocabulary to the expansiveness of your written lexicon. From personal experience, I can say that one who speaks as eloquently as you type is almost immediately labeled as having superior intellect even when that is not necessarily the case.

Dear Oldguy,

How can you convince someone that it is bad to rely on MSN (leet) speak for your english skills?
