That's all I can really say based my impression of his output.Ganzirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846299071370650169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-5949181899868774272022-09-20T20:52:09.011-04:002022-09-20T20:52:09.011-04:00Thanks for letting me know.

And the reasoning of people who still insisted he was the smartest person ever was interesting too. Ah well. the internet is a big place.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-25665727709813844172022-09-20T19:45:52.342-04:002022-09-20T19:45:52.342-04:00I searched your blog for those names when you reco...I searched your blog for those names when you recommended that I do so in a comment on your post about three interpenetrating cubes, but I remember no articles showing up.

(When I spent months _walking_ an area I remember the paths very much better.) <br /><br />In a town where I drove or rode a route every day, I remember it very well for a while. I may not remember the street names, but I remember how many seconds it takes to get from one to the next, and where to turn if a block is blocked.<br /><br />But two years later I have only the sketchiest idea. Some of it comes back to me as I drive, but I notice things I didn't remember from before (_not_ including the new things).jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.com
