Too high of a K score for someone who always knew how to be favored by the powers that are. From a Communist propagandist to Putin's lapdog, all under the guise of an independent-thinking, Westernized intellectual. Quite a talent, to be sure.
You say he's "Jewish," but the I-score of 3 and "Borderline" verdict leads me to believe (from the way you do things) that he's half on his father's side. Was it that he perceived publicly as Jewish but didn't self-identify as anything?
He has mentioned his Jewish roots humorously, talking about how his last name gave him problems in the past. No more than that. Not really a self-identification as such.

ReplyDeleteYes, absolutely correct. Half on the father's side. If he self-identifies, we missed it...

ReplyDeleteIsn't Alexander Grothendieck also borderline?
