I have wondered for years what top mathematicians were thinking.
They must have known that if I wanted to I could just do something like
solve the factoring problem and force the situation.
I wondered if they hated the world, but have decided that they believed
in MAD:
Mutual Assured Destruction
(Note to the kibitzers: The cataclysm that JSH is referring to is the
sudden collapse of cipher systems whose security depends on the
difficulty of factoring big numbers, which he falsely claims to be able
to do.)
It's not just mathematicians who ignore your ***, JSH. So does the
Pentagon, for instance. They ignore it because it does not work. But if
you start making threats, Harris, and especially if those threats
involve national security or infrastructure, you might start receiving
a type of attention other than what you are seeking. I wouldn't bet on
the authorities ignoring such threats just because they are bluffs.
