E. Grosvenor log entry t-0 Day One
|
|
I am now aboard Space Beagle in orbit.
|
|
It is not as exciting as I thought it would be.
|
|
In fact so far it's boring.
|
|
The Captain is aloof.
|
|
The crew is avoiding me.
|
|
I met a nice girl but when I started to explain
|
|
nexialism her eyes glazed over.
|
|
Maybe she was bored too.
|
|
I do have a monitor in my cabin so I can
|
|
continue my studies.
|
|
One of the problems with being a generalist
|
|
is that there's too much to learn.
|
|
So at the base of nexialism is quick learning.
|
|
Instead of reading a book I hypnotize myself
|
|
and scan the entire book in minutes.
|
|
I don't remember or enjoy the process of reading.
|
|
But I do remember all the content
|
|
better than if I had read it.
|
|
Kind of takes the fun out of reading.
|
|
But I don't have to do that.
|
|
I can read normally and I do for enjoyment.
|
|
I've been reading the World Of Null A
|
|
by A.E. VanVogt.
|
|
Interesting ideas but kind of far out.
|
|
Still I enjoy it and it's a break from
|
|
hypnotizing myself.
|
|
That girl I met, her name is KaTanne.
|
|
I wonder if she likes to read too.
|
|
Maybe I'll see her tomorrow.
|
|
Maybe after we leave orbit the crew won't be so busy.
|
|
I'm pretty sure the Captain will remain aloof.
|
|
Nexialists learn to read people pretty well.
|
|
The only person I don't understand is myself.
|
|
I probably still won't understand myself tomorrow.
|
|
I have grown accustomed to that.
|
|
There's a whole galaxy out there waiting
|
|
and I'm reading about Venus
|
|
and worried about the crew.
