@ZachWeinersmith not for buying; for not reading

@ZachWeinersmith regarding the reference: I'm not sure if this is the one you are looking for, but Tolstoy (yes, that one) wrote a story called "Esarhaddon, King of Assyria", where the namesake king experiences an entire life (not his own, though) as a mysterious old man is pouring a cup of water over his head - and wakes up when his other self is about to be executed to find that the water still has not fully run out. The main idea is "tat twam asi", "everything is you, and you are everything".

@mmasnick The only question I have is how he will call the superpower to avoid mutes and/or blocks. We already have "power user multiplier".

@Plumbert @Popehat St. Martins absolutely, especially "X by candlelight", where X is a well-known classical piece. March 4 is Vivaldi, March 11 Magnificat, and March 24 is Moonlight Sonata. https://www.stmartin-in-the-fields.org/spring/

@socalvillaguy @Popehat MENSA isn't high IQ - it's just higher than 98% of the population. By definition, 6 million people in the US alone, 150 million in the world; "I'm MENSA" isn't much of a boast. That said, the level of nuttery in really HiQ societies (99.9% and above) is completely off the charts.
