No, I was not aware of those items of interest concerning
auto didacticism.
Personally, I may be something of an autodidact, but I
think I am far from
famous. Now, it was interesting that I sent you to the
dictionary. The word that
I use that most frequently sends people running to the
dictionary is
recondite and after they learn the word they often accuse
me of having recondite
interests. In a message dated 8/9/2008 6:36:27 P.M. Pacific

Very interesting. I love all the different kinds of people

caused me to look
it up online and learn it. Do you know that there is an
Autodidactic Press
and also a list online of famous autodidactic people,
though the list doesn't
say what their particular areas of interest were/are. One
of them is Ezra
Cornell, which is interesting since he founded a
university.
