If you were not affected by Time Compression's latest stunt, then disregard this message. I assume you have nothing of interest to offer me.

The remainder of those who have unfortunately been affected, I would like to speak with you, either via message or in person if you so prefer. Particularly, I'm interested in whether or not you've showed a distinct lack of powers beforehand.

Those of you who have had prior abilities can rest easy. I have no desire to round you up for identification.

You learn it, yes. Though it's not yours naturally, so in a manner of speaking you're merely taking someone else's knowledge as your own, someone else's experiences.

Opinions. You've heard of them, I assume.

...I'm sorry, he's a punk.

lmfao it's cool I love it

[swagneto]

The only dumb opinions are the ones that are wrong. And you should realize, being the student that you are, that there are no wrong opinions. Only people who can't back up their claims.

Learning how to use it is not the same in this situation. They're still not yours by default.

[...so there! He hits the enter key with a smug grin. See. He can totally back up his opinions. With the best arguments.]

Your analogies get worse and worse.

Walking is an innate ability. Your mother teaching you has no bearing on the fact that you would have picked it up eventually. You can't fly because you don't have wings. The lack of an inclination towards math is merely the absence of intelligence at work.

There's a difference between nature and nurture. I strongly suggest you identify them before arguing otherwise. [ Welp. Just offended a student. ]

Language is an evolution, one of the many features separating us from primates. Children learn to speak on their own, their ability is perfected through dialogue. Again, nature not nurture.

Teaching one to fly is useless if you don't have the right features for it. There is no means of evaluating what you can do or what you can't do if you lack of the organs. It's not innate in that sense.

And some people are just ignorant.

I gave you mine. If you're too dense to understand what I was saying, I can only hope you're not in either of my classes.
