Subject: Sundowning Donny
Donny attended a roundtable discussion at Carnegie Mellon University for a discussion of energy and innovation...and promptly fell asleep.
But he woke up long enough to regurgitate one of his tried and true 'stories':
I have to brag just for a second. because when I first heard about AI, you know, it's not my thing, although my uncle was at MIT, one of the great professors, 51 years, whatever. longest-serving professor in history of MIT. three degrees. in, uh, nuclear, chemical and math. that’s a smart man. Ted Kaczynski was one of his students. you know who Kaczynski was? there's very little difference between a madman and a genius. but Kaczyn— I said, ‘what kind of a student was he, Uncle John, Doctor John Trump?’ and he said, ‘seriously good.’ he’d go around correcting everybody. but it didn’t work out too well for him. but it’s interesting.
Tiedrich: fact check: here’s your pudding cup, grandpa, let’s get you off to bed.
Ted Kaczynski — the Unabomber — attended Harvard, not MIT. and John Trump died eleven years before Kaczynski was identified as the Unabomber.
