I like texts with plenty of real world examples and explanations because it helps me to get full understanding of the material. If it just provides the necessary material then I usually gloss over it and don't give much mental energy.


Do you think you could write a textbook on some subject- do you know enough about something to write a text-even if you don't like the idea of writing a text?

Yes. I could probably write a textbook about anime-geek culture.

Same question.

Yes, I know enough of mathematics to write a textbook that would go through arithmetic, algebra, plane geometry, basic trigonometry, and introductory calculus. It's something I've been wanting to do but forever procrastinate instead. I'd have physics and chemistry examples for a vast majority of the problems in the upper level mathematics, and more purely mathematical concept problems for the lower level mathematics.


Do you ever procrastinate?

Yes, procrastination is what ensures I don't get anything significant done most of the time.

Welcome rarely posting quasi new member from Britain. Prepositions in absence of context are meaningless, so neither.



Do you find it difficult not to say whatever the heck enters your mind?

At times I do for, there are times when I have nothing relevant to say..

I'd construct electromagnetic catapults to lift supplies and materials into orbit, design and build robotic construction vehicles, build orbital shipyards, centrifugal farming stations, warehouses, habitat rings, space elevators; lunar mining bases for water ice and construction materials, lunar colonies, construction yards in orbit of the moon; interplanetary space stations to serve as halfway points for cargo vessels and rescue ships prior to the colonization of Mars; then bombard Mars from orbit to initiate volcanic reactions to allow for somewhat more of an atmosphere, while that is settling convert the two moons of Mars into waypoint stations for cargo ships; when Mars has settled down volcanically, begin construction of subsurface habitats; proceed onto mining the asteroid belt and convert previously mined asteroids into stations and ships; expand to colonize the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, building interplanetary waypoint stations along the way; colonize Pluto and its two moons; construct nuclear propusion and plasma propulsion ships in orbit of the moons of Pluto; expand to Alpha Centauri and any other star systems then possible.


Same question.

Same question. That's a great amount of things on an epic scale.. I'd try to find realistic & permanent cures to conditions such as cancer,A.I.D.S, Alzheimer's and other ailments which give mankind a huge amount of trouble in life..


Do you see life getting better for autistic people in the possible future with what we know so far and what we could learn over time?

Are you greedy?

Not really, but I do find it surprising how greedy people behave when they complain about how rich other people are.

Losing my glasses and needing to find them in order to read.
