hi Martin,

there are a couple things i'd like to tell you..

first, so that i might have some credibility with you i'll let you know that ahhaha and myself aren't buddies. if you don't believe me, go to his thread and look at the recent posts between him and me.

next, he's a theoretical physicist. you'll agree that that in itself establishes that he has some smarts.

further, i know that you and hardly anyone else on SI will believe me, but he's also enlightened. many years from now i'm sure this will be proven by his posts. i should say that i've never seen him say anything about enlightenment, neither his nor anyone else. one important thing to remember is that very often enlightened people are difficult to talk to. but it is even more difficult for enlightened people to talk to the unenlightened. they (the enlightened) take so much abuse that i often wonder why they do it.

but intellect and enlightenment is a powerful combination. and the rarest of the rare.

how important is it for you to learn? most people give lip service to wanting to learn. they may think they want to learn, but they give up when the going gets rough. i haven't given up, but i've chosen to lessen my progress.

if i were giving advice to anyone, it would be to take your lumps and learn. unfortunately, i won't take my own advice. i don't care if i never talk to ahhaha again. but i understand that that decision is to my own detriment. and i intend to still read everything he has to say. i'll learn, but not at the rate i could learn if i were willing to take my lumps.

so put him on ignore and tell him fuck off if you want to. or tell him to take a hike and then just read what he has to say if you're not too proud to do it. or you can ignore him and let your pride stop you from learning a great deal. the next option is the most difficult... engage him and take your lumps and learn a great deal. you have to be a better man than me to do that though. but it is advice that i would give to a friend.

i read him just so that i can learn more about how to make money. that's the main reason i read any of these boards.

best regards,
gru
