Funny you should say that... I'm reading Frans de Waal's book on animal intelligence, and he talks about how as a species we choose to see the things we're good at as the most important, whereas a squirrel would see us as woefully stupid about remembering a few hundred hiding places for nuts...
I also just watched a video of a lecture by Gary Winogrand where one could imagine that there was no photography outside the US:

Anyway, during my puragtory I decided I needed to move on to a different phase of my life. Not sure what it is yet... probably not sorting out the connection between gravity and quantum field theory :-) Anyway, a couple more years and I'll be over the "can walk away now" savings threshold, at which point the question will really demand to be answered.
It's pretty clear that whatever it is, it will go unnoticed in the wider world, which is an interesting challenge to the ego. For the moment, I'm practicing ;-)
