And that is something everyone should live by. A good and vigorous intellectual life. I am 19, not 21 yet. But, I'll have a virtual non-alcoholic Beck's Beer with ya. Cheers!
You're a sharp guy and you've got your whole life ahead of you. You have incredible clarity of thought for a 19-year-old. Get a good education --- preferably classical liberal arts coupled with some kind of career preparation. My own son is 13, and while only a mediocre student on a
good day, he never ceases to amaze me with the way he is able to argue something down to a fine point. I encourage this.
