The problem I have here is that modern people calling themselves
mathematicians definitely know how to play political games.

I've watched them played out over the years since I found the short
proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.

If I didn't demonstrate that some of you have a complete contempt for
mathematics and a contempt for the welfare of others, then it might
have been possible for some of you to be convincing in continuing to
lie about your real role and motivations in blocking the intellectual
progress of civilization in the area of mathematics.

But that won't be a problem as the minutes stretch into hours and maybe
even days, as the proof is out there now.

The mathematics is simple enough with a complete solution to a
factorization given.

If mathematicians can't follow a simple proof, then how can they be
mathematicians?

But if they follow a simple proof, which could mean that security
systems can be broken into, and sit on their hands, like they did with
my earlier research, then my point that they don't care about proof
will be made, and people will also understand just how bad the
situation truly is.

And then they'll know that yes, some of you could have realized that I
found a short proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, and keep quiet about it,
to help hide the fact.

And yes, you could know that ideal theory was bogus, and still teach it
to vulnerable and trusting young minds because some of you are people
who don't give a damn.

That removes the political arguments you might use.

The clock is ticking...

I once heard that the moon was made out of cheese... what do you think?

The message I'm sending to the mathematical community should be loud
and clear, and if you don't want to shut these people up who still
don't get it, just let them continue as I make my case that you people
have a contempt for mathematics.

Remember, if you wish to make this bet then go ahead and try to play
quiet, like you've done before, and I will make certain that entire
math departments are emptied.

I think funding people who are not really mathematicians is a complete
waste of the world's money, and that the people who are real
mathematicians, like me, will find a way to show it.

So make my case for me, and continue to sit quiet, and most of you who
are mathematicians will soon find you no longer are.

And, also, I think you help me make the case that tenure itself is
completely out-dated and needs to be ended.

Before this is over, the entire academic world will feel the impact.

So do your best to make me angrier now, if you wish. And see what it
gets you down the line.



Look, I don't now why you are getting pissed. I ask a very simple question
and if you don't know the answer there is no reason to get an attitude.

Simple questions are JSH's least favorite. Two tend to be "How do you
find values for the variables quickly?" and "Can you factor N?" and he
doesn't know the answer to either one.

Besides, if JSH behaved rationally, we'd know that the Pods got to him.
