I think he's truly brilliant; in terms of raw intellect, off the charts. I've heard him speak in person twice (including yesterday) and in addition to being brilliant he also possesses tremendous charm and grace. For me, it took a couple of readings of his books to understand his world view, but I didn't truly "get it" until I read "Survival is Not Enough." Then the lightbulb went off. When Seth connected the dots between evolutionary biology (Richard Dawkins being my favorite author in that regard) and the concepts he presents throughout his other books, I finally GOT IT! And for me, my world has not been the same since. The instant that light went on I felt as if I had been previously living as a somewhat benighted soul. In some ways I was. Seth's works have transformed me in significant and startling ways and I have achieved more in the last 6 months than in the previous 6 years. No exaggeration. I think your re-phrasing of Seth's concept is dead on. I’ve been one of Seth’s “students” for some time. I think he’s truly brilliant; in terms of raw intellect, off the charts.
