He was a mediocre science fiction writer who founded a "religion" after making a bet with Isaac Asimov in the 1950's. The gist of the bet was this: Hubbard: The fastest way to get rich is to start a religion. KIS, Just like Bezos. The two are amazingly similar. I wonder if Bezos had a bet with John Doerr that he could get rich by starting a religious cult dealing with losing money in online retailing. Bezos is a mediocre retailer (might even be a bad retailer) that has started a religious cult that believes in his teachings that accounts payables are assets and inventory is a Liability. Thank you for the information. Glenn G
