That first year of university was humbling. Mind you the overall environment didn't really lend itself to serious school work with all the incredibly hot and available co-eds every where.
But yes to westwoody's point, there are so many people out there that move in different circles and its apparent if you are in the same room as them. Not to mention a specific name but a few years ago I had the chance to sit beside a well known Canadian musician on a Vancouver-Toronto flight, he has sadly now passed away. The conversation flowed and without a doubt in my mind this man was orders of magnitude beyond typical with his breadth of knowledge and overall understanding of how things work, his take on pretty much any topic. This was way beyond being well read, this was genius. I felt so much smarter sitting beside that guy and so much less smarter when he left my side. The real geniuses have that effect!! And throwing in on Carney, I figure that is the effect he has on most people, that or sheer intimidation. His Davos and EU speeches are going to be referenced for a long time.
