Years ago I was naive about how information travels around the
world so
I thought that if you put it out there people would find it.
As I
posted for years on newsgroups I imagined thousands of people
worldwide
were getting information I was certain they needed to know, and
then I
found ways to measure, and found, nope, they were not.

They weren't paying attention. I WAS mostly just known to a
small
community on the sci.math newsgroup. Ugh. How depressing.

Every means of measuring showed a limited number of readers and
not the
thousands that I'd envisioned.

So I shifted. That's why I mostly lost interest in worrying
about
particular posters--unless they showed up measurably as having
an
impact.

Yup, I do the equivalent of checking the polls to see what
works. When
something doesn't work, I shift. That shifting is continual.

I won't go into a lot of detail, of course, about how I can
tell how
well any of you do in negative replies against my research, but
I will
talk about what I've talked about before--Google search
results, as
well as other search engines, but mostly I use Google.

I can tell which posters have any impact at all from them, and
the
answer is, most of you have negligible impact in terms of which
posts
get picked up based on search engine results, and the people
who do
seem to have some, are usually people I don't remember, or
never
noticed their original postings.

The world is a fascinating place. It's not how you think.

Today my posts do probably get read by thousands of people
worldwide--primarily through Google.

They do searches on prime numbers or other math topics and
postings of
mine come up in the search results and that is probably how the
bulk of
my postings get read by newbies, and then Google links to
archives
where people can go through more of them, and that's how a lot
of
others probably get picked up.

So I know who among you gets listened to, and who among you
comes up
with angles that resonate with others in the world, and who of
you
don't.

Do the searches yourselves. Short answer is, most of you have
negligble impact.

And, oh yeah, when I'm really bored, I'll watch search results
shift
from day-to-day to give you people some idea about how many
people are
steadily tuning in, as you get an audience that may be bigger
than you
think.

I wonder how many people worldwide does it take to shift search
results
on a day to day basis? How many people clicking through and
triggering
algorithms to change what they pull up are necessary for that
kind of
impact?

So yeah, I measure much of what I do through search engines.

Do some searches on primes and probability now, and learn.

I just did a google search on prime numbers. Not one mention of
you in
the first 3 pages.

I am also guessing by this post that you still haven't learned
how
modern search engine work. That really isn't surprising.
I didn't say do a search on prime numbers.

I said do a search on primes and probability.

Sigh. You do that on purpose, don't you?

Deliberately get this just wrong enough so that you can hold on to
your
delusions.

Wake up, you're being noticed by a lot more people around the world
than you ever imagined, and they're not showing an interest in what
you
have to say--according to Google.


James Harris
Do a search on jshsucks. My posts come up on the first page. Does
that
mean that there are thousands of people doing searches for jshsucks?
No, of course not.

You really should do some reading on how google works Harris, but we
all know how averse you are to actual research, so you will stay
blissfully ignorant as always.
You're ignored. Google shows that people don't pay attention to you,
which doesn't surprise me, so why do I?

We'll come back to that question.

Any objective person would not equate Google searches on primes and
probability with a highly specific thing as you mindlessly trying to
insult me, when I'm trying to teach you something, and maybe save you
from further embarrassment.

Be objective, use Google. You think you're doing something here, when
the world has voted on what you're doing.

While I AM doing something here, which is why my posting moves Google
search results in any number of areas from Java to primes to factoring.

The world IS listening to me, and they are not listening to you.

Do you really want this to continue? Want the rest of your life
hearing that echo inside of your head?

So why am I listening to you?

You can post so you think you have power. But I like freedom of
speech, and I don't like people who mess up arenas where real work can
be done. So if I make an example of you, I can send a message to every
person who is not smart enough that posting anonymously with some
stupid pseudonym does not really protect you.

I can reach out and touch you anyway.

If you push me, then I will start showing you just how much I can do
just with words, and as your life changes you will deny it, until you
no longer can crawl to that keyboard and type anything, and you will
still be somewhere out there--in denial.

But at least no one will hear you in cyberspace. Understand?


James Harris
Do your worst Harris. You are a nothing and will always be a nothing. I
really hurt you when I proved you know nothing about how a google
search works. You deluded yourself into thinking that thousands of
people do searches on your work, and that you have an influence on
these thousands of people. Using your logic, I am so famous that I
appear on the first page of a google search.

I am stating right now that you can do nothing to me, you are impotent.
You are a nerdy little guy who sits behind his computer's keyboard and
dreams of fame and fortune.

James, you are a crank.

Now, prove your mettle and punish me, if you can :-)
Ah, but that's where you're still confused. I won't punish you.

You will punish, yourself.

megalomaniac
1.. A psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies
of wealth, power, or omnipotence.
2.. An obsession with grandiose or extravagant things or actions.
3.. A person poorly trained in Mathematics, and will not read books or
take a course in Mathematics.

Except I have a B.Sc. in physics, which I have to repeatedly remind
posters about, which requires that I DID take courses in mathematics.

Further, this very thread is about ways I can objectively test how much
interest there is out in the world in various ideas of mine.

In contrast, you insult as an attempted means of control, when posters
have done that for years--to no avail--and is there not a definition of
insanity as someone who keeps trying the same thing over and over again
with no success?

While I MEASURE my success, giving a way that I do so in this thread.

I keep trying different approaches as previous approaches fail.

My efforts are rational and make sense, while math people going after
my work are robotic, repetitive and follow the same pattern: insult or
use references.

Objective readers can see then that a variety of math people behave in
a way that has NEVER WORKED--yet they keep at it anyway as if reality
is a foreign concept to them, in an almost robotic manner--while I
objectively test to see what is working.

And I dump mathematical ideas that are proven wrong, while carefully
probing when I am not sure why as I actually work to understand what is
true.

In contrast, math people repeat what they read in books, again in an
almost robotic mindless manner as if they were programmed to only see
the world one way.

And if you disagree with them or keep questioning, they insult you, and
quote from textbooks as if they were absolutely perfect references that
could have no mistake.

It is, robotic behavior to an extreme that is almost--inhuman. Now
that I think about it, it is actually extremely weird.

The same pattern from math society for years now: insults and quoting
from texts as if those texts were absolutes. Over and over again, the
same freaking pattern from poster after poster after poster.

I think if you were to go back and get a degree in Mathematics, you'd understand what people on here were talking about. How do you expect to argue about something you don't know as much as someone with a degree in math does? And no a physics degree DOES NOT trump a math degree. If that was true, more people would have physics degrees. I have a job in Mathematics because my employer knows that I know my field and I know it well. Surely someone with a physics degree could easily get a job.
