first off, by your name, you need to get off the NOOTS... just because you take brain drugs dosnt make you smarter than a man who is at least 100 fold more accomplished than you....
My name refers to resveratrol, not commonly considered a NOOT as far as I am aware.
I didn't claim to be smarter, I simply questioned your choice of 'accomplishments' used to judge someone.
Ive been told to keep my calm sometimes, however, WE all understand that getting 1 hon.doc isnt easy(bet you dont even have your GED)
What the F___ is a GED? we don't all live in North America ya know!!
, let alone 15+. so, since the USER FRIENDLY WIKI seems to be the resource, here are some quotes from there about the man you are oh so IGNORANT about. right off the bat... "He is involved in fields as diverse as optical character recognition (OCR), text-to-speech synthesis, speech recognition technology, and electronic keyboard instruments. He is the author of several books on health, artificial intelligence (AI), transhumanism, the technological singularity, and futurism.","In 1963, at age fifteen, he wrote his first computer program. Designed to process statistical data, the program was used by researchers at IBM[2]. Later in high school he created a sophisticated pattern-recognition software program that analyzed the works of classical composers, and then synthesized its own songs in similar styles".
Cool, so why not post that in the first place, instead of some rubbish about honary doctorates??
SO, i am not going to waste my time about the mans' "accomplishments" after his teens years. you need to grow up and stop looking at the fine print of things. and as your EDUCATED self should know, that the other side of what you are trying to dismantle is that the recipient MOST likely DOES have the prior credentials... and i think doing more in electronics and computers before the late 60s and before he could drive has a lot to say about him!!! as for you well, all you can do is make up derogatory comments about a man who is doing alot better for himself than you...
Why the personal attacks. Do it again and I'll request your account be suspended. I experssed my view that honary doctorates are not a good indicator of accomplishment or ability since they are not earned by study. I don't happen to believe that RK is correct, at least not in the timing, I think he focuses too much on the science and not enough on the real world. I may or may not be wrong, however I believe that I am entitled to express my view on this forum. You may choose to disagree with me, which is fine but drop the personal attacks please.
