No, John. This is the reality of the situation: Some people can survive in a
discussion involving multiple ideas simultaneously. Some people can see
connections between apparently unrelated concepts. If you ever had these
skills to start with, you've lost them. But, practice helps. I know two
people who are pushing 90 years old, but their mental acuity makes you seem
like a frog that's been pithed prior to dissection.
