He and I share an 'orgin story'; in high school they wouldn't even tell me my Intelligence Quotent, to keep my humble, they said. So I went from a farmland high school into a leftist University. But I stuck it out and wound up (in two senses) a voice in the wilderness and he formulated his CTMU.
I'll give it a listen later, as this probably requires more attention than a SA episode.

I was a TAG (talented and gifted) student from 1st grade, but I don't recall that changing my formal educational trajectory other than my parents being told that I'm likely to be bored at school, which is correct. Always had the "opportunity" for AP classes, but why would I choose more homework when high school achievements don't matter in the labor economy?

Never took the SAT or other formal predictors of IQ, but informal tests have me around 134, which means I'm underperforming that highest predictor of success.
