Is that what that is? Oh thanks. Maybe I should take up an instrument again. Although having perfect pitch didn't seem to help me write engaging songs. I think it's more of a technical skill. I suppose there's no use for it, as anyone who wanted to know the exact pitch of something and reproduce it would just use a computer or a machine of some sort.


the utility of perfect pitch is good for saving one the trouble of going to an external reference source for tuning, in the first place. if one is lazy such as myself, that is a big plus. but for songwriting one might get away with having relative pitch. there is a big overlap between the two categories.
you sound like you have musical talent, i wish i had your abilities in this regard.

In the line of MyFutureSelfnMe.

I think I have a procedural superpower:

- GPS inside,
- Learning computer languages,

- I can create a model of anything in my mind, almost in real time. (A data-entity model, cause-effect, control, financial). I used that once to, in one hour, build the data model of a complex system with 40 tables and three levels of abstraction, and give it to a system's architect from Microsoft to implement it. :-)
It also helps me to check (real time) the validity of any statement.

- I also have related hability of subverting abstractions. Like interpreting things in a way that only I though, but that is also correct, or to use things in a way they were not originally designed for.

- I remember all technical things I learned at school, after several years.

(I dont know the word for it.)

An ability to take the world from a another point of view; to look at something as if it is completely anew.

Yeah I have that. Amusingly, NTs dubbed it 'out of the box thinking'.

I have the ability to solve complex engineering problems that others have failed to solve. I work in electronics. One of my coworkers used to call me "The Doctor" based on the way I'd ask him questions when helping him with a problem.

Please don't try to send me your broken computers, phones, etc :lol:.

i know how to use spectral sound editors to remove extraneous noises in audio recordings, and also to extract the various musical parts and put them in their own channels to enable stereophonic remixing of monophonic recordings.

... My still beating heart and still wracking brain.


And I still suck at utilizing it to it's highest potential. Like most people, they don't know how to marry the two. :lol:

It would probably be best if I don't say what my super power is. If I did you would understand why.

I have what I call "social invisibility." That is, people can see me so they don't run into me or anything, but they seem to not be consciously aware of me. I try to join in a conversation, I'm promptly ignored. Other people talk about very deep, personal things with each other while I'm right there - it's a darn good thing I don't gossip or anything. I have a talent for just fading into the background.

I also have an uncanny ability to get in the way no matter how hard I try not to. I try to get out of the way, and where I move to will be exactly where someone else needs to be.

that is a start :wtg: i can teach you how to retract your uvula, just stand in front of the mirror with mouth agape, and act like you're swallowing something back there, by reflex it will retract outta the way. once you acquire this skill, you can impress people with it ;)
