Testify brothers!
I suppose it is too late for all the forty year olds still living at home.
I saw something like that at the office maybe 15 years ago, when my kids were teenagers. Nothing new under the sun.
The 40 year old is hopeless.
For every other parent: you will find your IQ increasing from the kid’s point of view once he/she gets close to 18 and reality sets in. After his/her high school graduation you will be considered a genius.
This would be a great program to lower the cost of education: Get the stupid to leave early.

BR – Quote from Asimov: “Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.”
A statement I have been known to utter on occasion…
Tricranial Feline:
I think that’s where I came up with my:
I DO know everything,
I just can’t remember it when I need to.
J/P=?
Seriously, boys and girls, this guy held the real secret of avoiding responsibility…..
“I know noth-ing!”
–Sgt. Schultz, Hogan’s Heroes
Perfect…
Then drive them to the EMPLOYMENT OFFICE.
A wise man knows that he knows nothing.
As long as we’re roasting old chestnuts:
I’m not perfect.
Once I thought I made a mistake but I was wrong.
J/P, you reminded me of one of my favorite poems!
Ode to Spot, as read by Data:
Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
o Data, “Schisms”
Why would data think cats are not sentient?
Indeed, cats domesticated humans thousands of years ago … around the same time canines did. Horses were a little slower on the uptake.
