How do you "know now that there is no such thing"? How do you know your neighbors who lives half a kilometer away saw the "same thing"?

How do you know that this isn't some prototype that simply was never "revealed"? Are all flying prototypes expected to be revealed?

Hi Neil, I really enjoyed The Game. I unfortunately haven't made time to read your other books, but hopefully I'll get to them in this lifetime.

Anyways, my question is the following:

How do you balance the message along side the personalities/voices/perspectives (whatever you want to call it) that might want to appear in your writing?

For example, say that I'm trying to convey a somewhat highly specific topic and express it more generally for educational purposes, while keeping the specificity intact. I'd like to incorporate historical context and a bit of criticism (personality) into the writing, and at the same time keeping it digestible in one sitting. Arguably, I should just convey the "message", without any fluff, but that sort of writing is what makes the sciences dry or too lengthy.

If it matters, the domain of the writing falls under computer science. Thanks!

How frequently? And how often do people on Wall St. contribute/cooperate?

I appreciate your apparent candidness. Got a few more questions if you don't mind me asking.

How did you know that that Reuters article was a "planned and executed" "strategic leak"?

Were you the Perella Weinberg Partners rep talking to and seemingly feeding the authors of that article?

Or are you familiar enough with this kind of Wall St. behavior that you spotted it from a mile away?
