What do you all think of this? I’m still trying to figure out what I think of it. It is definitely an interesting article. I hadn’t ever thought about the idea that exceptionally smart children were “leaps” in human evolution or were “here” to serve as a beacon to save us from ourselves.

After picking up Bailey from school, I took the kids to Best Buy because I wanted to pick up a copy of “El Cielo” by Dredg. Dredg has been around for a while. I first heard about them from a buddy of mine who lives in Canada that I used to play Dungeon Siege with [...]
