here we have a mentally ill person who has somehow managed to trigger meetings of the u.k. government and also a global summit meeting to deal with the subject of how the human race might convert itself into a more intelligent and non-aggressive one ; and here we also have a person like me , sitting in a taxi , earning money for conversing with said madman , knowing that it is all a load of cobblers , and therefore continuing to spend his time and energy on the task of returning a loss-making company to profitability .
