Getting out of your bedroom and walking to the local airfield to go
for a fly will immensely increase your fitness, your knowledge and
your self esteem.


But if I did that, what excuse would the boys' club here use to dismiss my
postings then?

No, Anthony. You're just a ****ing idiot who doesn't know **** from

That really is the most succinct and accurate description of poster on
this thread.

I've decided not to bother explaining it to him. For about $40/hr US,
he can get ground school or flight lessons from proven pilots and
qualified instructors, like the rest of us have.

Until then, he's a poser.

You are to be Congratulated!

With this absolutely astounding statement of astronomically historic and
infallible intellect, you have succeeded in completely negating the
entire concept of learning.


You're confusing acquired knowledge with intelligence. Intelligence is
relatively static throughout life, but acquired knowledge tends to steadily
increase.

Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge; it has no effect on
intelligence. However, aptitude--the capacity to learn--is largely a function
of intelligence. Smart people learn faster and more easily, all else being
equal. This is why smart people tend to know more than stupid people.
