Nuni, much as I respect you, we'll have to disagree on all counts regarding nihil. If he behaves toward his students as he does toward some of the people on SI, I have trouble seeing him as kind and sympathetic; his public postings indicate that he is not kind and sympathetic toward his students, in fact. As for brilliant: He has a fine mind, but a great deal of his knowledge is extremely superficial. I have discovered this superficiality repeatedly. It is a pity that he feels compelled to lecture on so many topics where he is poorly informed.

Yes, indeed, Nuni, I am a kind and sympathetic teacher. I just finished telling my 28 labor students today, that I had reason to believe (they looked very Asian and intelligent) that all of them had very high IQ's. None of them knew their own IQ in fact. I instructed them if anyone asked about their IQ, that they could say that they had been told by their professor (whom they had every reason to trust) that they had a very high IQ, 148 or more, three standard deviations above the mean. Of course, they could laugh at it, but there it was. I have been doing this for many years. I have many successful students -- university presidents, ambassadors, cabinet ministers, CEO's, and many of them trace their success to the high IQ that they got in my class. With all of these intelligent students it would take a lousy teacher for any of them to earn less than an A. All of them claim to want an A, and all of them are willing to work industriously and earn an A. Last semester, I was successful in awarding all of my students -- 123 A's. Two incompletes, but they will be A's. No longer will the business complain that our students are dumb because they have B's and C's. All my students earn A's, and get them. I have reason to believe that all of my students are highly intelligent. I am now running courses on the web. IR361 - Labor Problems.
