First of all, Tesla was a Serb, and a rural one at that, so take everything he says with a pinch of salt. And he probably thought camomile tea was a cure for any ailment, and that sleeping with the air conditioner on would give you TB.

I've never seen "rural" been used as euphemism for "Croat".

Normally it is whackjob Croatian nationalists claiming Tesla was a Croat.

First read the title as "eclectic memory".  I can remember random, trivial things quite clearly but struggle with some important stuff, particularly short-term.  It drives my wife nuts when I can remember a line from a movie or TV show I saw just once, and several years ago at that.

Same. i can recall random, and in all honesty, useless facts and trivia, but i have trouble trying to remember stuff i want to remember. Say when studying. I suck at self studying. i can be in class listening tangently and recall later the important details. When i ry to study its hit and miss what sticks.

That's exactly how I was in college.  And for any training offered at work, I tend to retain more if it's traditional training with a live instructor as opposed to most computer-based training (save for maybe training/tutorials on specific computer applications).

Studying ain't the only thing that is hit and miss...

"whackjob" is redundant when referring to Croatian and Serbian Nationalists.  But, in the world of moving borders he was born in Austria in a place that is now Croatia. When you referred to him as a rural Serb I pointed out that he was a Croatian-Serb.

It's funny how these "colour blind" people are so obsessed by ethnicity and race when they stop thinking about how marvellously correct they are.

Viking asked for references, I gave him one and it's ignored.

That was just a list of anecdotes. Not a general study of the supposed phenomena.

They talk about studies being done on those individuals. That's a starting point, just look up those studies. Surely something has been published on them.

That's great you know that, but I was talking him for being born and raised in the countryside (ie, being 'rural'), not about him being born in the Croatian Military Frontier.
