You are a fascinating person, Jeffrey. But, yo= know that...

Thank you for taking the time today. I am reas=nably certain I would be additive to your various conversations in the Gut=, bringing a distinctly different yet complementary perspective. It would =e fun and effective.

Several of your comments made me think of a long ago=friend, the writer David Foster Wallace. David used to talk about th= "truth" the way you talk about having fun. He had an ex=eptional mind—seven plus standard deviations away from the mean that you seem to enjoy. I leave you below with one of David=#8217;s better known quotes to juxtapose with our earlier discussions.

I wish you the best and, again, thank you,

Jide
