JSH: Hammer

To my surprise, the simplest approach has failed. My belief was that if you came up with something true then that should be enough for it to become known especially if it were important.

Today, I saw a post where someone claimed an error with my proof and then condescendingly said they wouldn't point it out but that it'd be better if I found it myself. And that I could if I really tried.

I think that funny since there is no error. My statements that there might be one were simply my being practical and openminded.

The ways that people are taught (or not taught) to think are bad enough that I am certain that the future survival of the human race is in serious doubt, and it's so amazing how certain so many of them are of themselves. (Any of you heard of De Bono? Guess who's techniques I've followed closely. I don't just make these methods up!)

I'm beginning to wonder about large areas of human knowledge where people are "certain". At least in science there's reality to often check what is true and what is wishful thinking. Unfortunately, in "pure" math, you fellows police yourselves. Frankly, I don't trust you. Perti Luonesto makes better points in that area, so I won't say more now.

In any event, you can bet that once this proof is known that you'll not get good press from me. But, hey, I've made serious efforts to be sure that you'd know that well ahead of time. Luckily for me, I get the fun and easy job from here on out.

You guys created the Hammer and gave it all its power. So it's only fair that it'll be on your heads.
