UM GN-- How did you manage to associate with those very intelligent people,
especially those you call more intelligent than yourself.
So what about others friends. weren't they intelligent?
you moved in higher circles where did you meet them?
what about ordinary folk?

Oh I've had plenty of ordinary folk friends as well dogsbody. I have had a very varied career path through the years from working in a prison to being advertising sales manager at a couple of nationwide magazines. All the friends though that I have kept in touch with from Aus are those I met at university either through my studies or my time in the Melbourne University Mountaineering Club. I make friends pretty easily but most just come and go as I move on to different things in my life. The ones I have chosen to hold onto are those I find the most interesting and adventurous. Not all are super intelligent or have amazing careers but all have led very interesting and adventurous lives. I'm not into small talk, I like people who can regale me with great stories of the things they've done or are going to do. So many people out there talk about little except the minor things that affect their daily lives, they boor me to tears
