Ang Matalino, Preferential Treatment, and Scholarship

Ang Matalino

Ang matalino discusses ideas and events; ang less matalino primarily discusses people’s gossip. There is substantive literature, from Socrates to Nikola Tesla to the present day (Brillo 2018, 2024 [message and lecture]).😊


Preferential Treatment

If I concur with you and provide preferential treatment, it will undermine me (Brillo 2024 [message and lecture]).


Scholarship

Always remember that teaching and research take the highest precedence in scholarship. Other aspects are essential but considered subordinate (Brillo 2023, 2024, 2025 [message and lecture]).

Intuitive, Unconventional Perspectives of Gifted Individuals

You can only prolong, but not ignore. You can only delay, but not stop (Brillo 2013, 2024 [message and lecture]).

A Writer and An Introvert

I am a writer and an introverted person; therefore, I primarily work alone on writing and publishing. There is substantive literature on this (e.g., Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Isaac Asimov, John Nash, J.K. Rowling, and Susan Cain are introverted and work strongly independently) (Brillo 2025 [message and lecture]).
