I appreciate you choosing to respond even if it was not to this E-mail I sent you yesterday as well as this E-mail I sent your New York X colleague Mr. Rugman.

 

It will, however, take approximately 72 hours from when you stop emailing me to add you to both the “sh1t” [sic] as well as “deafeningly silent” list.

 

In the meantime as you help increase the circle of those dependant upon my insight and analysis of the important events of the day, you gaining little if any comfort from the lack of activity coming my having posted up both emails on the AIG Yahoo message board since you would know being a literate human being it is what people say as well as what they fail to say that is important and second, you as well as your bosses would most certainly know from doing just the minimum “due diligence” on my “work product” that there is a lot of discussion pertaining to what I will be doing next not only in boardrooms around the world but much more importantly in the classrooms.

 

Forgive for taking the liberty of now bringing you up to speed on a dialogue I just began with a Professor of Economics from an Ivy League University and perhaps you will see fit to share it with your “down line” with the idea that one or more folks who may not be on my email list will not only like to be more clued in than readers of say The New York Times to the important events of the day but may have some suggestions as to how I can get this Professor to begin his reeducation by simply reading the Diamond Invention.

Dear Mr. Gevisser,
        Thanks for your kind words about my paper.
        I haven't seen The Diamond Invention, so really can't offer any useful advice for your student.  Sorry.
With best wishes,

Dear Professor,

 

I read with great interest your Does Absolute Income Matter? and salute the attention you place on “happiness”.

 

I am very interested in your thoughts on this Internet book, The Diamond Invention written by Edward Jay Epstein who has recently had a book published dealing with the “creative accounting” in Hollywood.

 

I would like to assist a young Korean lady I recently met who is now considering doing her master’s thesis on “The Diamond Invention and its influence to the international security”.

 

We hear a lot these days about “job security” and “social security” but little it seems about a rather secretive organization like the DeBeers-Anglo American Cartel who from what I can tell have an exclusive right to produce an unlimited in supply, untraceable, lightweight and never once inventoried diamond currency that seems to be unsettling to more than just this one young lady who along with her Korean friends have been wondering about Korea’s relative weak currency despite their “productivity” measured in “output” very possibly superior to ours in the west?

 

I welcome any thoughts you have on this subject.

 

Gg
