I saw that. Yeah, they are infomercials but hey- try giving real college lectures to the general public on complex subjects and it would be like gassing the room. :cool:

My talk actually agreed with parts of his treatise.

I've given plenty of college lectures. They have their place, but we live in a society that is about brands and cult of personality. You are ALWAYS selling, no matter what you're actually doing. So if you want to have an impact, you need to understand the game. Some people do that in the financial world on various levels, others in the "intellectual" (broadly construed) worlds.
