He's not making bullshit, but yes, the support structures he had when young stopped him going off the rails like the atomic boy scout.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the smart kids got that kind of support, instead of the hate?

looks like hes bullshitting ted talks for the cia no info about a job and is doing "nuclear security" sound like a load of bullshit..

edit: and just like clockwork The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Department of Energy offered federal funding to Wilson concerning research Wilson has conducted in building inexpensive Cherenkov radiation detectors.[3]

no word on his work for 7 years! that means 100% classified. he's probably built stealth propulsion systems for space/air capable craft by now
