Fasincating behavior, reaction to my work

Years ago I believed that math was a different field when it came to
demonstration, until I found my prime counting function, and talked
about it, and watched people lie about it.

So here I had my own research counting prime numbers, and supposedly
primes are a big deal, but people lied about it, mainstream
mathematicians ignored it.

Life goes on.

Deep down I guess I knew that the same thing would happen with
factoring.

I have my own research, I'm factoring numbers with it, and I can talk
out the math but it won't matter. People will lie about it.

But this time it's different.

You may lie about it, but someone can use the research, and then they
can read your email, read your on-line transactions, and basically walk
in and ruin your life.

Mathematicians will deny, deny, deny until something breaks.

And then what? Oh, I'm sure there will be shock and more denial. It
will supposedly be no one's fault, as if there's no reason the world
should expect mathematicians to have paid attention to a breakthrough
result in the area of factoring, factoring algorithms that no one has
ever seen, factoring numbers in a way that no one quite realized could
be done.

Sure I have dinky results now, but that doesn't mean that someone else
couldn't rapidly advance things.

Meanwhile, nothing will happen in the mainstream.

The mainstream will do nothing until something breaks.

Dammit. When something breaks and you bastards start your denial game
I hope the world sees through you and puts the responsibility right on
your heads.

YOU are the people who said that factoring was a hard problem.

YOU are the people that the world trusts.

YOU are the people who have the information now and are going to do
nothing to warn, until something breaks.

And when something does break, don't think you'll be able to run away
from the truth then, as the world as we know it is likely to end.
