He was finally noticed. Not because he looked interesting, but simply by his mentioning on being on Alan Grinsberg’s reading list. How come are you on Alan Grinssberg’s reading list, asked the new Alan Grinssberg’s advisor (this is how he learned who the new advisor was). I was in the room when the list was handed and I quickly read the first position on the list. This playing stupid tactic paid off. Now, and finally it could have ended like a flesh eating bacteria (he puffed a sound that no one had a chance to name yet.)  The pretending was over. All has been accomplished in that domain. He was no longer a mass, or part of a stereotype. They actually were interested in his take on the first item on the list. It was all about being clean, the idea of taking the notion to the next level, by introducing it to a group, then extracting all that they could agree on; that was his new take on economics.
Removing potential threat that could backfire years ahead. But this threat could have only been recognized by a fraction of the mind, only released during stress, or a motivator inhibited by a long-term inactivity of proper mental flow. This, on the other hand, could have only been recognized by fear. To the rest it was a noise, blubber, or unsuccessful efforts to get noticed. But he only wanted to be noticed when not paralyzed by that dreadful feeling of recognizing the pattern that led to noticing, but aggressive competency of competing. Get noticed for what? Own satisfaction? Social boredom?  So Alan Grinsberg has been selected a president, he learned. His unconscious brain started to talk. Finally. His expectations of the intelligence elsewhere were finally fulfilled. My happy place is not a place, he thought. It’s people.
