He also wrote a tweet and maybe another post where he ranked up all countries of Europe and says that Europeans collectively got the most medals in Olympics and hence they are superior. He suffers from this weird and serious case of European Supremacy. I know about his actual works (not what he claims to have done). And based on that I respect him. He also has got a cult of people following him and who will gang up on any dissenters, i.e. people not thinking of him as a walking god. Schmidhuber has actual contributions, I know. Now he moved to a country with extremely bad record of human rights, and has policies and implementation that put the Taliban to shame. Now he is promoting the institution left and right any opportunity he gets. He is very hard to take seriously. |
