Well, I'm not saying he's not ok. I'm just describing him. Sartre was ok 
too. So was Allen Ginsberg, etc. But both were at the same time pretty 
sphincteral. They drew much of that they did or say, much of their 
wisdom, from their anus.

This reminds me of a funny night. When Ginsberg died (in 1990s), I sent 
a post to the Iranian forum informing them of his death and adding some 
harsh words about him, kind of ridiculing his way of being "intellectual".

But an hour or so later I remembered a report one of his friends had 
written I think around 1960 or so, about a few encounters with Ginsberg 
and other friends which was one of the best articles I'd ever read :-))) 
I remembered how Ginsberg was described in it, and how much I had 
laughed and enjoyed the article; then suddenly I felt I owed him an 
apology for saying those words on the day of his death.

So I went back to the computer (a funky one I had at the time - an AT&T 
Unix PC if you can believe it!) and got that old copy of "Horizon" from 
my library upstairs, in which the article had appeared, and typed the 
entire article carefully in a second post to that forum, after 
apologizing to the memory of Ginsberg :-)

I bet that post is still somewhere in the cyberspace. Google groups 
should have it if the Google Group's "owner" of that Iranian forum has 
not deleted it out of spite for me. A LOT of my articles in both physics 
and Iranian forums got deleted in the Google Group's archives of usenet. 
That's what happens when you leave a human in charge of other people's 
activities.
