   Oooh, clever guy! I'm afraid this supports my reluctant view that, if you're not a genius by 20, you probably never will be. <sigh>

   But do you define "genius" in the person's innate potential, or in their ability to actualize that potential? Does one become a "genius by 20" through development of actualizing skill, or … well, how else do you work the "by 20" into it? For that matter, does anyone "become" a genius, or are they simply "it"?

   Meanwhile, Ray is currently speculating on the possibilities that medical technology advances may put effective immortality within reach of human within 20 years… heady stuff…
