      No think logically here.

      Given a choice of ?1,000,000 and no Digital-Kaos for a day, or
      Digital-Kaos for the day and no ?1,000,000 DK wins everytime.

      Wounder what his DK username is?

        Imagine doing anything you love and being good at it.
        Now imagine being offered a prize for doing it.

        It presents a bit of a problem, if you accept the prize you get every asshole in academia contacting you perpetualy till the point you can no longer focus on doing the thing you love, instead you get to spend your day answering letters and writing paper anfter paper for shitty journals looking to cash in on your fame.

        Add to this that what was once fun becomes a grind because everything you do from that point on will be tirelessly scrutinised by the next wave of people wanting to get some bloody prize.

        Id turn them down too, id rather be happy and comfortable doing something i love than have it turn into a complete farce.

              why? because he is intelligent enough to see past the curtain of wealth. if he was healthy and happy, without the money.
              just coz he is not as greedy as you, do you think using violence will help his change his mind? sorry guy, what a pin head comment.

                The guy's not nuts, he's a realist, poor and happy, but alive. He'd rather stay that way, as compared to being rich and dead. That's the reality of living where he does, surrounded by the Russian Mafia...

                  To be genius often means to be misunderstood. I support and admire this guy.

                    if the man chooses not to accept the money thats his choice. were all too quick knocking people for getting hand outs they dont deserve so a big up to the man.

                      I respect the guy for his decision and don't blame him for being a social recluse. Once your in the limelight people of all walks of life want more from you. I on the other hand would take the money because I still have a family to raise and my body is showing signs of the years of physical and mental stress.
