Yeah, I suppose if bus schedules need some fixin'.
Ers Sidis did a lot more than that. He was a significant if unheralded
libertarian theorist by the end of his life - got rid of the
anarcho-socialism and was pretty much over to minarchical libertarianism. He
also figured out some good stuff about the Native Americans, as mentioned in
"Lila." I leave aside his interesting fantasia that predicted black holes -
which is *really* odd, in that it's pure 19th century thermodynamics and has
no Einsteinian factors at all; yet it's pretty beautiful, making life a sort
of intrinsic quality of the universe - there he precedes recent's Anthropic
theories in philosophical physics.
Some neat Sidis libertarianism:

Sidis always been one of the guys I most wished I could have sat down with,
even just looked in his eyes. What would that have been like? Amy Wallace
did a very good book on him - compared him to Ayn Rand's geniuses on strike.
