You obviously don't know Armand Mauss.


True. I don't.

When one makes a generalization like I did, it's usually easy to find at least one exception. The question is, how long will that last? Not all intellectual paths take the same amount of time or take the same direction.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Was he really an intellectual? Or more of a very smart tinkerer? I haven't read much about him.

I was just funnin. But I think he was a bright fellow. I don't think he was an active member.
