Re: WILL.I.AM's comment on Einstein

I think it definitely was a display of passion and will go down as an unforgettable moment in FIRST, but I'm also skeptical as to if it was truly off the cuff. The general reaction of Dean Kamen, the commentators, and others seemed artificial to some degree. While I doubt everyone or even most people would know about it if – and that's a skeptical "if" – it was planned at all. He seemed to say it in a way and draw reactions from Dean and the administrator that suggest he may have playfully joked about swearing live or something earlier, and that their reactions were a product of that. Like a publicity stunt for FIRST more or less.

Don't get me wrong, I think that Will is undoubtedly invested in FIRST and whether or not the incident was planned or not, he is doing great work for the future. I wish he would have explained and gone in depth more about spreading FIRST in the ghetto and his experiences like that, but I can appreciate the notion that he was just overcome with excitement for FIRST. Also, I'm not trying to start a conspiracy or anything – I don't expect other people to jump on board or completely agree with me on this – it's just how I genuinely feel and think about it.

Either way, this should make for some good discussion.
