It was really disturbing and uncomfortable watch. In some ways I do not blame the cucks as they where just trying to do what they had to do in order survive seeing as that they had no other skills than being suckups, but it was the fact that Younger seemed to respond so positively to this that made it so weird.<br /><br />In the end most of these cucks are long gone but some still remain at least on the bloggsphere I doubt many are around in either LLNL or LANL anymore.

He was very intimated by real scientists and many felt he was kind of joke and<br />was not taken seriously or "tolerated" by anyone I know. Some of the stuff he was saying about complexity was downright foolish and just pathetic. The thing about Younger being "extremely intelligent" just does not ring true by any of the interactions I have witnessed. I would say he came across as a intellectual wannabee that was utterly insecure about himself particularly in the presence of real scientists. <br /><br />That being said if he managed the NTS site well than perhaps he can do well at Sandia.

While he was at LANL he used to just "blow off" folks when they would ask him for the basis of his decisions. Basically, don't ever question his logic and decisions, to do so will end your career. Good luck with that guy Sandia, you'll love him! :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-13335391940316897902016-12-19T06:34:36.622-08:002016-12-19T06:34:36.622-08:00Compared to Jill Hruby, Daffy Duck would be an imp...Compared to Jill Hruby, Daffy Duck would be an improvement.

At LANL he was considered a bit of flake an not the brightest guy. He was in T-Div at some point and seemed incredibly insecure. <br /><br />Despite this he still may do a good job if can can recognize good people and motivate others. This is a quality that has been lacking in NNSA lab leaders for some time now.
