166- "to export all our jobs and import all our workers
An economist as well as a physicist!"

Well, well, not really, but sort of

Physics is perhaps my weakest subject, but as a 'generalist', I will match my ability/knowledge/Mensa scores and ability to be conversant on most subjects, with anyone in the world. My knowledge is very broad - yours is very deep.

So, back to the point -

You better believe we 'pond scum' (as pseudo-woman would call us) need to know something about economics.

We, as a society, need to know how to pay for luxuries, such as physicists. As I said before, the world was flat, until the Queen sold her jewels (which were paid for by the ignorant peasants plowing their fields behind their donkeys).

Physicists are luxuries. We did without physicists for thousands of years.

And, as I sit here writing this, I am watching women's figure skating on TV - wow - sex and beauty and music - all together, what a wonderful thing. Why should I argue with 'physicists', when I can enjoy 'figurists'. Let me spend my limited luxury money on female figure skating, what greater art can there be?

And then I think a bit more, about our discussion here, and I think - wow - I am watching this luxury on TV. And, without physicists, I wouldn't have a TV on which to watch such beauty. So, until I can afford a trip to Moscow to watch these beautiful girls perform, live, I better see to it that the physicists get a bit of my money to continue making future 'TV's'.

So, remember Physicist, who your competetion is, for our (pond scum) money - figure skaters (or football games and cheerleaders as the case may be).

And I guess, at Pseudo-woman's insistence, I should thank you more politely, for trying to explain some physics to us non-physicist pond scum.

And remember your competetion - figure skaters !!

Do you think putting on short skirts or shorty white lab coats, would make youall any more appealing? LOL

Physics versus ice-skating. Great. It's all there for your entertainment. 98% of Mensans sit and watch rather than participate. Being something such as a physicist would be the King of France in the garden with a trowel.

Apparently, we have different ideas about what constitutes sex, beauty, and music :-)
