Towers raises several questions that I&#8217;d like to explore in more detail. I&#8217;ll cover one of the interesting ones in this post.

		<description><![CDATA[The fact of the matter is this: geniuses are lonely on average because they are rare, and therefore unlikely to congregate at random. If I want to find companionship, I will have to look for a group of smart people, and go to them. It&#8217;s really not a complicated issue warranting its own blog.

At first it will look like a hearing aid that can recognize speech, translate the words, and output the translation into your ear as a synthetic voice, roughly modulated to match the original signal (so people still sound the same, just speaking a different language).
