Well, who'd ave believed it!   ;)

It seems obvious that if you enhance your brain processor then you
will enhance all the bad features as well as the good features. How do
you make yourself twice as intelligent, but only think good thoughts?

Luckily I am almost perfect already. I just have a few teensy weensy
