It gets better...
If that guy is SO genius as he call himself, then why is his website build with MICROSOFT FRONTPAGE? And why does it uses one of those lovely ms-themes so all you have to do it fill in the blank fields, et voila, you have a website....that's so lame.

If he would really have been that smart he would have designed one by himself, or let a professional make one.

Cheap, very cheap

My fingers are itchy. But he said he had permission to post this crap again.
Lets wait and see what happens, I asked about this in the cosmic top secret forum...

This is starting to look more and more like a scam to me...

Hello All,

Permission has been granted to me to re-post the source of the information in my posts.

Please understand that the web site I will link to below does sell some cassette tapes but those are not the reason for my post. If you decide to purchase them anyway, that is entirely up to you. I am not affiliated with this person in any way and do not receive any payment for referring people there. This is not SPAM.

The reason I am posting this link is to provide another resource that will help us get that much closer to the Truth. Not everyone will believe everything that is said and that is your prerogative.

Feel free to post your thoughts about the content.

The post below is to the Free Editorials that have been posted on his site. Feel free to explore everything, if you so desire.

Thank you
JHAustin

Hey another board has attacked him as well, great link
the true post of a megalomaniac...


From beyond the top of the IQ scale, I have devoted considerable time to sifting through all my thoughts about practically every subject in this universe, and a few more outside of it. I have organized it all in an appropriate and easily understandable manner for others.


Yet he has nothing to say that we don't know ... truely as disturbed a mind as B.r.i.a.n.

The guy is just looking to catch our eyes to his site.

Sorry if I'm harsh, but I really do hate spam.

Mmmmkay, I can chime in here.

I'm not impressed. Like "mega-genius", I'm a past member of the same two high IQ societies that he was a member of and I know quite a few other people who also are members in "the 1% club." Having a high IQ is no measure of wealth or guarantee of success -- just look at Shrub, whose IQ certainly isn't in the genius range.

Genius is not the same as knowledge. Genius IS the ability to process information (a LOT of information) and come to conclusions quickly. The best example I can give is that it's like comparing the performance of a 286 machine to a Pentium class machine. Runs the same programs, but the Pentium can get a lot more done because it processes faster.

But it doesn't mean he processes good information or even has original ideas.

As others have said, his information is basically a rehash of a lot of stuff. I have no doubt that he, like a lot of other gurus out there, can make tapes and instruction manuals that others find interesting. He might be a perfectly nice human being, but I honestly think that if he wants to prove himself Wylie E. Supergenius (like me) that he should gird up his loins (like me) and go romp after a PhD. I'm writing my first grant funding request on a proposal to do a study of teaching battered women about storytelling to their children (focus on cutting down on violence)... if he's got such great ideas, I think the dear man should kickstart his giant brain into action and approach some of the foundations and start getting backing and research and making his idea real.

A huge IQ with no action is rather like having a very very nice Humvee sitting around in your garage. You can take your friends in to admire it and you can be impressed with it, but it's no good to anyone in the end.

Joe, my intelligence level is far greater than that of Joe and the Volcano, and my knowledge is more vast than Joe could ever imagine. If you send me $45.00 plus $9.95 S/H I'll send you an audio cassette containing valuable information that will help you throughout your journey in life and will help you retain more of that which you work hard to earn.

Did you already buy my tape?

Well, since we're friends, I'll send you the money back if you'll take the tape and put some music on it. Give it some kind of value!

This will be my last post on the matter. The most recent Editorial says it all. Yes, it is about me. The other Forum that I posted to, I have been a member of for over a year and decided to post a link there too. For the most part, the only people that bother to post are the ones that only have negative things to say. I had to laugh at some and others were just ignored.

In regards to the Bus Tour article posted by Netchicken, I asked him about it and he said that it is him. Here are his exact words regarding it:

-----------------------------------------------------
"That is me in the picture. I was made an Honorary National Park Ranger of Haleakala National Park, years ago, through my involvement in preserving the endemic wildlife there.

As you might fish, or camp, or attend a ballgame, I enjoy getting away from other things once in a while. So, occasionally I conduct an educational tour at various places in the Hawaiian Islands for a friend who owns a tour company.

Sometimes once a year, sometimes more. We both benefit." - Jim Diamond
-----------------------------------------------------

Byrd,

With all due respect to your stature here, I felt as though you deserved a response. This is from me and not Jim Diamond. First off, that was a very good explanation of what Genius is.

You said:

-------------------------------------
"But it doesn't mean he processes good information or even has original ideas.

-------------------------------------

That may be true, but the same could be said for you or any other person with or without a high IQ. If the people on this site have heard all of this stuff before, by someone else, and believe it, then why would anyone think that he didn't have good information?

You have to remember that his site is geared towards people who may not know these things. If he over did it in his Editorials, most people would be turned off or scared away. That just doesn't make good business sense. The true groundbreaking material is in his tapes. I know I have sounded like his personal salesman but I have heard the first series and I will purchase the next two based on its content. You can be sure that the information on the tapes has never surfaced on this site before.

You said:

-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------

The response he gave me regarding the Tour Bus article pretty much handles that argument. He has done many things for free and has helped allot of people. Beyond this, how do you know he hasn't done what you plan to do. By the way, that is a very noble thing that you are about to embark on. Good for you.

You said:

-------------------------------------
"Having a high IQ is no measure of wealth or guarantee of success" - Byrd
-------------------------------------

That is true, but not in this case. Jim is very wealthy and successful and most of it is due to his ability to disect a situation and provide the best solution possible. He does this by employing the Genius Formula that he developed.

I know that no amount of talk will persuade you or anyone else to change their minds if they don't want to. It is for the silent majority that is reading this that I have bothered to post.

I apologize for the length and I will no longer respond to anyone elses comments and opinions here. I have said my piece. Jim Diamond did me a favor by posting his last Editorial and so I have done him one by providing my Testimonial.

Thank you
Joe
North Easton, Massachusetts

I, too, have purchased every one of his lectures (many years ago). I have rarely seen much discussion online about him (mainly this thread and maybe 2 or 3 other instances), and always in a negative or highly skeptical light, which is unfortunate, though understandable. I perused his site off and on for about a year (back in 2005) before I eventually concluded that the best way to know if it's a scam or not is to just purchase them and see for myself (I started with the initial series, only $35 at the time). As for their worth, I definitely believe they were (and still are!) worth far more than the thousands I spent on my college education.
I have met only 1 other person who has heard them, but this person messaged me at a time when I did not have consistent Internet access so we never did correspond. It's refreshing to finally meet someone else has also listened to them, and therefore would have more informed opinions regarding them.
