HN discussionSo it seems people should try and get one of these magical Joanna devices that generates plenty of page views :) I think the article is a good example of how you make your own luck and how no experience is a wasted. I have always liked Steve Jobs speech at Stanford ( http://onemansblog.com/2010/02/01/steve-jobs-outstanding-sta... ) which is along similar lines.

HN discussionI agree. The problem is that people don't seem to understand that: Smartest Man in the World Espouses Virtues of Eugenics Chris Langan is the World’s Smartest Man. That’s not an opinion, it’s a statement of fact. Mr. Langan’s IQ is nearly 200. Oh, and he’s spent 20 years being a bouncer at a bar. http://onemansblog.com/2007/11/06/smartest-man-in-the-world-...
