Nor would I.

fxskater said:Okay, here is MY theory, (snip some good stuff)
If anyone has read the INNER GAME OF TENNIS, it compares Right Brain/ Left Brain, Self 1/ Self 2 thinking. I believe that some people have stronger SELF 1/Left Brains and some people have stronger SELF 2/Right Brains. I think the real key lies in people with a very strong RIGHT BRAIN. Right brain thinking is impossible to describe in our COMMON terms of INTELLIGENCE, since the right brain does not understand words, or reason, making it retarded by LOGICAL thinking. How else do you describe something/someone that CANNOT communicate with others.

A DUI suspect put a handful of his own feces in his mouth in a police station in what officers said was an attempt to foil a Breathalyzer test. Said an official, "I don't think alcohol alone would make you do (that)." Nonetheless, said police, the man, who had been stopped on Highway 11 near Barrie, Ontario, still registered double the threshold for impairment.

fxskater said:Okay, here is MY theory, that i have thought about for years and never told anyone. This is a THEORY, so i am looking for someone to disprove it. EVERY PERSON ON THIS PLANET BASICLY HAS THE SAME MENTAL CAPACITY. Mental Capacity is the best words i could think of to describe what i am getting at, BRAIN POWER, may be another.
fxskater said:Nope. I don't really have much time to get into the 1000 pg small print big word books that could help me form a really intelligent philosophy. Till i do have time, I'll post my uneducated, unreadable theory on AZB.
What is the idea behind this book? Is it similar to what i said?
chefjeff said:It also provides you a foundation for protection from those who exist by cheating others and using others for their own gain. They can do this because the bicameral mind is still there and can be unknowingly tapped into various ways. Two ways are poetry and music. These can easily bypass the conscious, moral mind with all sorts of damaging information.

Whether a person entertains analytical reasoning based on science or math has very little to do with how he actually plays the game. To assume that an "intelligent person" has a tendency to become overwhelmed by a greater number of possibilities in the pool world in my humble opinion has no basis.whitewolf said:![]()
This observation was made by a famous trick shot artist whom we have all come to love and admire. I will not memtion his name here in order not to take anything away from this thread. His reasoning was that a very intelligent person has a tendency to become overwhelmed by a greater number of possibilities.
Sometimes I think this may be true because my engineering buddies on my team who were very smart could never learn the game of 8 ball.
What do you think?![]()
