Are you worried about having the intellectual capacity to follow my gist? That reminds me of a question once asked of Abraham Lincoln, I think it was. How long should a man’s legs be? He answered: Long enough to reach the ground.
So I wouldn’t be concerned about whether or not you’ll be able to understand the up-coming content matter. This stuff is not too tough to comprehend. You won’t need a degree. It isn’t rocket science. One or two mind experiments are all that this course will require. No more difficult than lighting a fire.
It stands to reason. It wouldn’t be fair if the universe were that way arranged such that only egg-heads in lab-coats could puzzle it out. Are they any more worthy than we hoi polloi? Trust me on this—no, trust to the universe. It boils down to something so simple that even a child would understand, intellectually speaking. (And certain other childlike traits such as openness and imagination certainly help.)
If you are able to enjoy a book or a movie, if you can listen to someone tell a joke or a story, if you can wake up in the morning and turn to the person beside you and share the previous night’s dream—well, that is all the brain-power that you’ll need. You don’t need no other qualifications, I guarantee.
