Well it'd be nice if computers could check and at least see if they are
right, but wait!!!

Math people claim computers are too stupid to check them on their "pure
math" research!!!

Seemed plausible years ago, but less plausible as each year goes by,
and you people find more excuses for obvious failures.

Which of course leads to a question that you've _still_ never
answered:

Why haven't you used a computer to check _your_ mathematical work?

It's very pussling. You suggest that we're all Bad because we
haven't done this. No doubt. But then it follows that you're
Bad as well. Curious that you'd post such a conclusive indictment
of your own work...

The big picture for a while has been that I'm using mathematicians to
go after academics in general.

I have mentioned it before.

Math people are done. I have them.

What's pathetic is the delusion we see here. You have us
all, but we haven't yet _noticed_ that you have us. How
can we be so blind?

But through them I can change the
careers of...history professors...or geology professors.

Math people can give me the academic world, and they are doing
so---partly through efforts like yours here.

Your contradictions help prove my point.

The academic world is broken. It has to be fixed if our species is to
survive.

The story does not stop with mathematicians, when my research is known
fully for what it is.

I need enough momentum not only to end tenure--which will happen almost
immediately--but to help the world see the necessity for an end to the
Middle Ages academic model, and finally, an embracing of our Brave New
World.

It is time for evolution to finally reach the colleges and universities
of this planet.

And I need mathematicians to do it.

So yes, I admit it. I am using you people. Like always.
