JSH: Rhetoric aside

So without all the drama the simple answer is that I found a function that counts primes in a way never before seen, so it has inside of it answers never before found.

Turns out you can go quickly and simply to a way to check some of the most complicated mathematical ideas ever known, and I wrote a paper on that and sent it to Princeton late November of last year, and it is, still under review.

That "simple" is what gets me in trouble.

Turns out that what I have is so damn simple it's easy for math people to lie about it as many of you WANT complicated. You need mathematical ideas that are incomprehensible as that's what mathematicians usually give you, so you hate simple like they do.

None of you really wants to know how prime numbers operate, you want the satisfaction of reading some popular work that tells you that it is all beyond you but brilliant and beautiful minds understand it, somewhere.

So my research is hampered by its simplicity. As notice how dumb the stuff posters had to lie about is, as it IS so simple.

But mathematicians hate simple, and the people who cheer them on hate it as well, like soft tackling in American football.

You want complexity to feel like something impressive is actually going on.
