Harristotelian Logic

As I build a multi-media empire connecting my various web and usenet activities, it occurs to me that many of you, despite the world wide impact I already have on the math world, still think this is just some little minor adventure on usenet.

And some of you seem to think sci.math is a small newsgroup of a few hundred readers and a few dozen regular posters plus kids coming with their homework.

But it is free access to the world, where I can put the math out there, engage in vigorous debate, and slowly but surely build momentum.

The latest Code Challenge is yet again a bit of sheer brilliance forcing a concrete result—code to match against mine and time against mine counting primes—or yet another failure by people who argue with me to actually deliver.

You people are completely out-classed.

You engage in playground tactics, with insults being all you have, as if that will always work, when the real issue is about the time it takes to slowly work new ideas into the public consciousness.

Meanwhile as I challenge people to think, they are also being asked to consider ideas they would previously probably never thought about at all—like what if mathematicians aren't actually doing anything of value at all, how would we know?

Well it'd be nice if computers could check and at least see if they are right, but wait!!!

Math people claim computers are too stupid to check them on their "pure math" research!!!

Seemed plausible years ago, but less plausible as each year goes by, and you people find more excuses for obvious failures.

Meanwhile you get to just convince a committee of fellow mathematicians, rip on people who dare to enter your domain and try to make their own discoveries, often claiming they must be mentally ill, as if you all had medical degrees.

If my aims weren't so big, I could attempt to sweep in and finish this early, but I think that math academics are just the tip of a bigger problem across academia.

I think the entire academic world across the entire planet needs changing and I need enough momentum for that revolution.

I need mathematicians to build up the energy needed not only to handle them, but also archaeologists, art historians, linguists, MBA's, and every other academic all the way to English professors or language professors in countries that are not predominately English.

So yes, you people keep thinking you are winning as you get time, but time gives me momentum to use what you are doing here to change how English professors live.

First thing, of course, at the arrival of the revolution will be to get rid of tenure.

The Dark Ages died a long time ago, and tenure should have died with them.

Ok, enough chatter about the big picture, back to the grind. As I build momentum and move forward with the task of changing the entire world—of academia.
