Eliezer, I’ve been watching you with interest since 1996 due to your obvious intelligence and “altruism.” From my background as a smart individual with over twenty years managing teams of Ph.D.s (and others with similar non-degreed qualifications) solving technical problems in the real world, you’ve always struck me as near but not at the top in terms of intelligence. Your “discoveries” and developmental trajectory fit easily within the bounds of my experience of myself and a few others of similar aptitudes, but your (sheltered) arrogance has always stood out. I wish you continued progress, not so much in ever-sharper analysis, but in ever more effective synthesis of the leading-edge subjects you pursue.
