JSH: Not hard, you're not crazy

If you find yourself agreeing with me that the action of the
distributive property doesn't care about value and think you must be
crazy to be agreeing with me, nope, you're not crazy, the people
arguing with me are just refusing to accept a basic truth because of
the social consequences.

Those social consequences are huge.

To get an idea, there was a book published about the work of Andrew
Wiles and the supposed proof of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, and it
raked in millions.

Turns out Wiles didn't prove Taniyama-Shimura, and my results show that
by taking away the tools he used, showing they do not work.

That's just one result, relatively minor in the big picture.

There is more than enough reason for people to fight no matter what
including trying to deny that with

a*(f(x) + b) = a*f(x) + a*b

the value of f(x) doesn't change the fact that BOTH were multiplied by
a.

That academics can lie to defend their ideas shouldn't be a surprise.

Given the history of the mathematical field, it's not a surprise that
they would fight extremely hard against my results as mathematicians
are so proud of supposedly being immune to upheavals, like older
results being shown to be invalid on this scale, that they BRAG about
it.

Students are taught that "core" is perfect, as in the mathematical
ideas that form the basis of most modern teaching.

So my results shatter not just the ideas and the work that was built
upon those ideas, but a strongly held belief by mathematicians that
what happens in other fields, like in physics with Einstein, cannot
happen in their field.

What you see in continuing arguments here is that they can take that
belief to absurd limits, even choosing to fight the distributive
property, no matter how much I explain, or how clear it is that that is
what they are doing.

The belief trumps the facts for them, and mathematical proof is
useless.

My own opinion is that the mathematical community will not accept the
truth until people outside that community make it painful for them to
keep denying it.

Make no mistake, millions of dollars are involved here just in research
grants.

As we speak, mathematicians are getting money for research that I've
crushed.

If the truth comes out, that money goes away.

There are lots of reasons to lie from dollars to institutional beliefs
to just plain 'ol pride.

So it's a slow slog pushing the mathematical community in various ways
to face the facts and tell the truth.

You can help.

Skepticism is good, especially from the media community. Don't let
mathematicians just claim a result, but ask hard questions about how we
the people know that a result is actually true, versus a bunch of
people claiming it's true, and to trust them.

I say, don't trust them, and if you think you should anyway, just read
those replies where they keep questioning--the distributive property.
