Looking on them now, I wish I still looked like I did. Now, I hate the pics of my present visage and most likely will look at them with the same wish in twenty years. These pictures are lovely, Norman.

More work from the Czar of Bizarre! Okay, that sounds like I'm speaking of you, Norman, but we know it is not. For any neophytes, please Google the moniker and you'll get a treat!

I love that picture of you sitting on that monastic bed. Aside from the 2,000 meter stare, there are those famous wing tips you told me about. Proof of life, so to speak. Oh, Honey!

Unfortunately, most of society (including the Nobel Committee) reinforces an acedemic paradigm thoroughly invested in maintaining the status-quo. This is why the biggest paradigm-shifting innovators so often turn out to be college dropouts. So I think the best alternate (and more specific)advice might be: "If your son is brilliant-yet-bored in school, pull him out, give him this book or read it to him, and start putting him together with the resources who could make use of his ideas". On the other hand, it has been said that "trying to tech a pig to sing will only result in a frustrated pig and a frustrated farmer". Telling little Bobby that "The B stands for CREATIVITY!!!" I know a kid who struggled with open v/s closed universe at the age of 13 (true story). He aced every test, won the science fair, and yet he got straight C's and D's because he didn't show his work (he did everything in his head). That's American public education.
