#1 His motto when he ran against Liz Warren for Mass. Senator in 2018 - 'Only a Real Indian can defeat the Fake Indian'.

(full disclosure - Shiva's a former client of mine, he's a really arrogant prick.)

#2 Pretty ballsy to say at age 14 that he invented E-mail.

#3 He's full of crap on the e-mail thingy.

#7 Okay, 'fessing up.
I got a really good education there in Chemistry and Physics, which later became Pchem as I advanced. The professors were great, the labs were amazing. That said, my advisors were younger than I (and were out of sync with me, as I was coming off 10 years in the Army, Infantry, 11B4P). Fate smiled on the Damned Infantry, and I ended up with a very good one, maybe the best; Edward M. Purcell. He was retired (emeritus) but made a huge difference in my life and education. I worked in the Physics machine shop at his behest; they taught me a lot, all very practical and useful still. Before that my last 3+ years in the Army was spent at MIT. While overseas, I had taken a round through my helmet. It bounced off my (thick) skull but left consequential damage. My division commander MADE (created) a position there for me. Ring knockers. I taught Light and Heavy Weapons and Land Navigation to the student body, and took courses in Physics, Calc, Chemistry and EE. I ran into a few like this Professor, but let their prejudices bounce off me. There were far more great people than not. I think I am the luckiest person on the planet.

#8 "#4 Do you know how you can tell if someone went to Harvard? Don't worry, they will tell you." That is funny, and true! There was a movie with that line I think.

#12 Hey Raj, former? Smart man you are.

Whiskey Mike - I ain't that smart, but when I dealt with him, his attitude was always 'and I want this done now'. In retrospect I just should've charged him the Bitch Tax (standard billing rate plus 50%) but I wound up hanging up on him on one phone call. I then got baked so I could calm down a bit and then I called him back.

'Hey, Raj, I think we got cut off.'

'No - I hung up on you because you're being a jackoff!'

At that point, the end was near so I just walked away.

#13 Ah, Purcell. The first guy, I think, to show that electric charges are not acted on by magnetic fields, but only by electric fields in their relativistic rest frame.

#14 His findings had a big impact on everything we are about today. I remember his 'discovery' of magnetic resonance. I had to fight my way through relativistic expressions of electric fields (where do we start?) but while not sure I completely understood it (yeah I can do the math but understanding is something else) I tried to use it. AND it seemed to work. Look for weird patents coming soon to this planet. That work in the real world.

#15 There are certain paradoxes that don’t seem to resolve. Agreement on the interpretation is not universal.

#16 Yes. I miss him.
