I want to know about your brains

For those of you who assumed I wanted you to tell me about your actual brain's, I'm sorry. Go ahead if you want to! But what I'm actually interested in is wondering is there anything you consider yourself to be a specialist or an expert in? Not something you've read the Wiki page on, but something you've extensively researched, maybe written about, something you feel you know more about than 99% of the general public.

I'm not a SUPER expert on anything I can think of off the top of my head... I know bit's and pieces on trivial knowledge stuff, and I have a pretty vivid imagination.

Go and share your nerdiness!

 

I got nothin'

 

I've got a natural gift for making people laugh.

 

The only thing I'm pretty sure I know I'm right about is what foods are delicious. Most people are wrong about that because they eat gross things.


Other than that, I'm really good at doing calculus and Newtonian physics homework problems.

 

my brain is shaped like a walnut..

 

i know a bit about weightlifting, guitar, and drugs

 

I bet I know more about weightlifting and drugs... and having a big ego.

 

Surprised nobody said weed. I'm sure there's many experts of 'the marijuana' on here

 

Guitar building and repair...

 

I'm not a specialist.I tried to do many things.I make a mean lasagne though

 

nothing spectacular but I have alot of knowledge and experience in fresh water tropical aquarium keeping.

 

of all the things i've lost i miss my mind the most

I know alot about rugby , not that it cause brain damage and all that because of all those bone crunching tackles , .....................what were we talking about

 

I've been called a Fountain of Worthless Information.

 

I don't know more than 99% of the population I am sure... but I would be most expert on Botany.

 

I'm a jack of all trades, but I specialize in electrical systems diagnostics.

 

No Brains Here, Just A Void Filled With Some Blood Vessels, Bone, And Fatty

Tissue....



Cheers Glen.

 

It is wise to have decisions of great moment monitored by generalists. Experts and specialists lead you quickly into chaos. They are a source of useless nit-picking, the ferocious quibble over a comma. The generalist, on the other hand, should bring to decision-making a healthy common sense. He must not cut himself off from the broad sweep of what is happening in his universe. He must remain capable of saying: "There's no real mystery about this at the moment. This is what we want now. It may prove wrong later, but we'll correct that when we come to it." The generalist must understand that anything which we can identify as our universe is merely a part of larger phenomena. But the expert looks backward; he looks into the narrow standards of his own specialty. The generalist looks outward; he looks for living principles, knowing full well that such principles change, that they develop. It is to the characteristics of change itself that the generalist must look. There can be no permanent catalogue of such change, no handbook or manual. You must look at it with as few preconceptions as possible, asking yourself: "Now what is this thing doing?"

What a load of tripe!

Spot the man who is trying to justify himself by doing down others!

I've known a fair few experts, and I wouldn't say that they merely looked backwars into the narrow standards of their own speciality.

 

I disagree I think Frank Herbert makes some very cogent points and I personally consider myself a generalist - I know a little about everything :2thumbsup:
