Re: JSH: Enough venting, but funding is an issue

Ok, so enough venting out my frustrations with the math community.
They're liars, so what?

Yeah, they're real jerks! They caused you to screw up
factoring again!

Yeah, I know, supposedly all this activity out there is going to lead
to something big down the line and there are people doing fantastic
research that is pushing our technology ever forward but I really feel
that most of you are duds working the system.

Supposedly it leads to people learning the subjects they're
taught well. But you missed out on that.

So the trendline that I'm pushing, for real, not just venting, is
reducing funding and looking for survival of the fittest.

And just how are you going to "push" for that? Continue to
post blog entries read by nobody except people who laugh at
you?

Heck, James, you're not even willing to spend a few bucks a
month for your own web site. Is that because you found HTML
too difficult to learn?

The exceptions in my mind remain, materials science, medicine,
biology, including anything to do with genetics, and, um, I think
there was something else but I can't remember right now.

At least you've thought it out clearly.

As for the rest, I want survival of the fittest and I want a lot more
pressure on universities with big endowments--far, far, far more than
you're starting to see now.

I want justifications across the board for monetary expenditures as I
look to the world to weed out parasites: people who just are playing
the game and not doing anything of value.

How does it feel to want?

That effort is just beginning.

And always will be.
