I was placed in advanced/gifted classes from the 2nd grade to high-school, so I was always expected to communicate in an "adult" manner. I talked almost exclusively to adults and like-minded kids for years. Even my Karate class was with mostly older teenagers and adults. When I was with normal people my age, it was hard to find common ground to talk about. I feel one of the reasons many geeks drink and use drugs is to turn off their inhibitions and communicate on a more normal level. Cause when you're drunk, you don't speak so smartly.
From NASA to NASWA. The National Aeronautics and Space Warfare Administration. Also, rename the International Space Station to Fort Reagan. No more worrying about whether or not to power deep-space probes with plutonium. Every probe will end its mission by nuking the target. Need to send a probe to Pluto? Tell GWB we need an Inter-Planetary Defense System to detect and shoot down incoming asteroids and comets. Explain that comets start out beyond Pluto and we need to setup a launch detection system. Watch the dollars fly!
