@SrRochardBunson @ClaraListensprechen@universeodon.com @Ralph058 @sergio_101 Hah. That began as soon as I learned to read when I was 3. By 5 I was literally reading encyclopedias cover to cover. I was always in my room reading. Teachers hated me. "Um, excuse me, that's wrong..."

(I didn't become tactful until I was 12 or 13 and decided I wanted people to like me. Before that, my attitude was, "Well, you're the adult with the audacity to get up in front of the class and teach. You'd better know what you're talking about." This wasn't the way to win friends.)

It seemed intuitively obvious to me from the beginning that knowledge is power and what you don't know is what will limit you, get you in trouble. So I Hoovered up everything about everything.
