In terms of intelligence, there is little that can be done to increase it.
Disease states and disorders (e.g., brain injuries) can reduce intelligence,
though.

Just because that is true in your case Anthony does not necessarily mean
it is a rule.

Unless they get a pilot's license, in which case old age becomes
unlikely.

If they do most of their flying in the hangar--or on USENET--they might
survive for quite a while.

Your problem is that you don't fly.


That isn't the problem that you make it out to be. Flying is not magic.

Actual pilots here--nearly all of
them--keep telling you that you have no idea what you're talking about,
and you still can't catch the clue.


Actual pilots here have made some glaring errors that have considerably
diminished my opinion of private pilots. They don't seem to be nearly as
qualified as I had formerly presumed them to be. Sometimes they don't even
know the basics. Worse yet, they are more interested in defending their egos
than in being right.

Then why do you continue to read and post here? The data you get isn't
up to your standards and unless you are insane (and I'm not ruling that
out)it must be clear to you that nobody who reads this group thinks
anything you write is worth the disk space it occupies. The only reason
left is that you come here to troll and cause trouble. Which pumps up
your ego because you are a sad little man-boy who has found whenever you
talk to real people in the real world they either ignore you or once you
keep blathering on and they can no longer ignore you they beat the crap
out of you.

I think I can answer this one for you as I've had the misfortune to have
engaged this person on several occasions.
My read on him is that he possesses average to above average
intelligence. He's used the simulator as a means of experiencing flying
without actually doing it for whatever reasons that entails.
Where it goes bad for him is that he envisions his simulation experience
as comparable with real life.
This is the twisted psychology he has brought to these forums.
Unfortunately for him, and for whatever reasons he had for doing it, he
entered the dialog with real pilots envisioning himself as an equal.
Naturally this backfired on him as pilots attempted to explain to him
that simulation is NOT real life.
I believe this led to him sliding deeper into his belief that anything a
real pilot could do with a real airplane, he could duplicate in a simulator.
This path has led him down a slippery slope that finds him now
envisioning himself not as an equal with the pilots here, but superior
to them, as he now firmly believes they all hate him.
I wouldn't go quite that far myself, but they definitely don't like him.
This has created the unending cycle we now see getting ever worse every day.

Of course one must consider that I for one am NOT a qualified
Psychologist and this is just my purely amatuer read on our friend.

Before you discount my diagnosis however, I strongly suggest that you
consider the fact that I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!
