Hi, I'm Mike!
I am NOT an intellectual! I do adore facts though, like Earth's moon 2160 miles in diameter and Pluto 1199 miles in diameter!
I understanding the very basic limits of Einstein's curved space and the unification of gravity into the quantum world! I am going to be perfectly honest with you all now! I don't understand String Theory!
My main loves in life are poetry ( not the garbage I have written myself! ) and music, especially orchestral music.
I love sharing with people the basic information about polymaths, such as who they were, their nationality, the dates they lived from and what they did, most of which I have forgotten!
I have given presentations in which I link poetry I recite to music, for example 'The Blackbird' by John Drinkwater with The Beatles' song 'Blackbird' from their phenomenal 'White Album'.
So in summary, I am not profoundly clever! I make the most of my limited knowledge! I am a Very Poor reader, I have some mathematical ability, and I like factual knowledge. I have read Patrick Moore's book 'Exploring The Earth and Moon' but most of it I have forgotten!
I like people who can create things such as, write a book, compose music, write poems or invent theories!
I stand as a child before you all with his eyes open to try and grasp the beauty and wonder of what you have to say!
Cheers - Mike
