I seem not to have listed these guys before and I like the blog to be comprehensive. Counting their host, there are three human beings and two ETs present, although an impartial observer might be forgiven for thinking that van Rijn was of a different species.
(The cover of The Van Rijn Method shows a different group.)

Kaor, Paul!
I had to laugh a bit at the idea of Old Nick being so uniquely SUI GENERIS that he might as well have been of another species!
I wonder how WE would do actually meeting Nicholas van Rijn????
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
I would be unable to do business with him or, probably, to work for him except maybe in a research role but I would like to meet him socially and to challenge his ideas.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
And I think Old Nick would be more than willing to have you as a guest! AND to more than hold his own in any debate you had with him. We know he was far more learned and well read than he pretended to be.
I sure as heck don't think I could satisfy Old Nick as a factor or one of those entrepreneurs he backed with stakes.
Ad astra! Sean
