The interesting thing in this and the transcript of what Fritz said in the Leadership U lecture is how little he actually said.

Gee, I wonder why? It's not exactly a great career move anymore to divulge one's true beliefs.

But gosh, there is nothing here that a majority of the evos on this board couldn't agree with; and there's nothing I personally I find objectionable.

Believe it or not, I post articles because I find them interesting, not because I wish to start a flame war. :)

When you've got 1000 papers and a named professorship, a certain feeling of security might be justified. The only think left for Fritz is the Nobel. Problem is, they gave the prize to Pople and Kohn just a few years back, and in the next tier of quantum chemists there are several very good people. I doubt he hangs by the phone in early October.

I enjoy reading and responding to these crevo threads.

Debate is one of the most imporant tools in gaining intelligence.

Too many get into 'wars' over this because they start off with the position that their 'beliefs' are 'fact' and their manner of faith is the only correct one, and that anyone who doesn't see things exactly the way they do, must be wrong.

Here's the only true fact. Most of what you believe, most of what you know, is absolutely WRONG.

Best thing to remember when debating or blindly arguing on a thread, is that both YOU and YOUR OPPONENT are likely DEAD WRONG.
