FW: The dangers of too much learning

Michelle Howard

I've heard of heads exploding from too much chess - but apparently it's an
urban legend.
Do you want to take the risk that it might be true?

Take the good Doctor's advice:

In the meantime, the doctor urges people to take it easy and not think too
hard for long periods of time.
"Take frequent relaxation breaks when you're doing things that take lots of
mental focus," he recommends.

It seems to be a thermodynamic thing; the generated heat can't
escape fast enough.  Actually, from personal experience, it's
part of a punctuated equilibrium effect; things do come back
together again after awhile. Until the next time.

Somewhat disconcerting for any unprepared observers, though.
Apologies in advance....
