  • When someone says “He’s an unbelievable genius,” I now understand that the person speaking is either a con artist or a gullible idiot. Unbelievable geniuses don’t exist, there’s just specialists, people who get lucky, people who work hard. So if you’re saying someone is such a genius, either you have no metric by which to measure genius, or you’re selling something.

    “I think Cullen made the Satoshi accusation for marketing. He needed a way to get attention for his film.”

    Cullen is absolutely selling something: he’s selling his documentary.

    The various denials and deflections from Todd, [Cullen] claims, are part of a grand and layered misdirection.

    Smells 100% like bullshit. I had no take on this documentary one way or the other before, but now I’m very skeptical.
