Some implications with some ideas if true

There is a benefit with time with certain things. Where figured might be fun to talk some of the implications of some of my ideas with behavior of others versus other things. Like I noted August 2002 as very big for me as figured out a simpler explanation for what was one of the biggest mysteries in mathematics.

Which I like to say apparently wasn't sexy enough for mathematicians to acknowledge, and who knew they cared about such things? I sure didn't but now feel is part of best explanation.

But yeah one of the supposedly BIGGEST problems out there would have been deflated--if I am correct. Where some may guess am talking about a conjecture by Riemann who I think was a decent guy. And had some good ideas. And I will admit I check here and there to look at emotion around his famous hypothesis.

Some may wonder do I claim to resolve it, and answer is, no. My result makes it, um, not of interest.

With my open source project was actually kind of an intriguing thing to me to ponder potential implications with something where there is just question of popularity. And I finally realized that in book stores I no longer saw Java references like before. There are still Java reference books, but is hard to explain. Unlike with the prior there is no question of correctness with my open source app.

But presumably something with some amount of influence would have discussion around it, eh?

These are the kinds of things I do when bored as human emotion is hard to control. So can try to check what emotions people in certain areas may be displaying. But is hard to be sure, you know?

Like mathematicians may wish to stay excited about Riemann's hypothesis. And I can check, or try. But now seems to be the naive without a clue and remains a major topic--of others NOT mathematicians. Oh and have noticed some physicists here and there which I find ironic. Is it true? Um, will admit the likely answer I THINK is, no.

But that would shatter a lot of hearts in the mathematical...in the naive mathematical community if actually proven and raise major questions. While I have no motivation to prove it one way or the other.

Oh, well I also was able to prove that mathematicians can fake number theory research, so is less a big deal then. These are things over a DECADE old should emphasize. Is very hard for people to hide huge things over such timelines.

People can get emotional about things where the truth does not care. And is just a grind of time for mainstream realization.

Web reality means the world in a sense knows immediately, which is weird. So yeah, the world has known these things for quite some time now. And world does react, but not the way I'd expect will admit. Have tried to prod here and there, to no avail. Is a big world in many ways, you know?

Oh, but also yeah, if you're one of the clueless be assured there are likely fellow humans who know. Will admit find myself with mixed emotions around areas where I know there are people who believe things that are wrong.

But my responsibility is to share well. Where yeah, can witness the impact also. And human emotion is more telling maybe than what human beings report.

Just picked a couple of things to help me study what happens. If I put in too much besides getting a way long post can muddle the response.

Like now after this post will be watching for a try from the mathematical community globally to pretend, like it still cares about the Riemann Hypothesis.

Is an experiment you are witnessing then. Which to me is also fun.

Objective sources for facts helps best

So yeah had been putting things up public since 1996, without much of a good sense of how that was going. But my objectives years ago were relatively simple: figure out some important math thing, get it to math experts and react from there.

So talking things out public was part of the search where made lots of mistakes, as worked out a process. Where eventually yeah did feel like had things solid while not counting much my first thing which had in 1996, as had sent to a presumed expert only to have rejected as too simple. Should elaborate now, as what actually happened was I discovered a modular solution that turned a seemingly difficult problem, into a relatively easy one.

Years would pass until had blogs like this one, which is thirteen years old, which can tell from my first post here which is a good reason to make such posts. So yeah blog had a different name back then, and is interesting to read what I wrote. Is like from some other person, from long...ok is me from over a decade ago.

FINALLY ended up with web stats which were from Google and went into a bit of shock when found out lots of countries across two of my blogs with about a dozen from one. So back then had three blogs where main ones are once again here. This one, and a math one, and Lost in Comment, was the original name as Blogger wouldn't let me do the full name then. Now is Lost in Commentary, which was what I wanted originally.

And my math blog had visits from over 125 countries and this one was from only around sixty, and there was no sense of a proper transition. There were no instructions. I felt like there were no indicators really except this THING telling me these things.

And I appropriately I think became somewhat mentally unhinged.

My more polite way to describe is like to say became--unsettled.

However is important to note that without an objective source telling me, there was no way for me to know. That was HUGE surprise and would take me quite a few years to understand how is possible. And even now I consider that subject, carefully.

Is interesting though that reality of needing others so much. But reality is: Am using technology developed by others, across systems built and maintained by others. Here is free which I DO appreciate. And I can type here like now, like then, and publish.

What happens after is about other people.

Over 23 years pondering much

Decided on April 15, 1995 as my date for when really started pondering much with the idea of actually getting something BIG, where picked USA tax day so wouldn't forget. Which makes me somewhat suspicious now over 23 years later, but have also said before has to be close to actual date.

And maybe was a bit pretentious of me at the time, in my mid-twenties but had treasured my own dream since was 18 years old of figuring SOMETHING out major. And back then had decided would need to be math, for objective reasons.

Even earlier had read kid biographies of some of my heroes like Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, whom I mention as pertinent in this area. Like I wondered at times, if lived in their times, with what they knew, could I have figured out what they did? And to me such was the impossible dream, which is what I told myself.

So also note realized was a great opportunity to exercise my mind. And all along was making sure would have something valuable no matter what, even if could not reach what then I made myself think of, as an impossible dream. Though now realize how part of me could also realize was maybe possible. My main thinking for a long time was that maybe modern problem solving techniques might make a difference, against old problems.

There was other complexity to my thinking as well where have explained more recently. And yes, also felt like was on a Quixotic quest at times. Is fun. Helps keep things in perspective to be so honest.

As then could comfort myself: even if I failed at least I knew upfront what was up against. And would constantly work to make sure would not be left with nothing for my efforts, if only had benefits of relentless training. Relentless training can be so cool as long as you make certain is not damaging in ANY way. That part have debated with myself as to how well achieved, especially with so much time spent.

Of course have mentioned before taught myself calculus at 12 because Albert Einstein did. Which to me is also a value in even those kiddie biographies though they tend to leave out much, which is appropriate thing to do recognizing maturity is important.

And I did have my degree in physics from Vanderbilt University for many reasons. Where main reason for the choice is because I had the ability. But also yeah, quite a few of my heroes since childhood were physicists. I would not go on to become one though, as did not pursue graduate studies.

And the web had been around of course but much in terms of making useful was maturing around that time. Where I DO need to keep a record as had to check as Google wasn't around yet. The web was kind of this new thing where people were trying to figure out what good it was. And wasn't that easy to find things.

Eventually I'd end up on Usenet talking math, where now wonder when got on through Google Groups. Thought was in 1996, but if Google was founded in 1998, guess it wasn't. Oh, I think Google bought something or other? I do need to keep a better record of how I do things or end up puzzling much, years later.

Wasn't until 2005 that blogs were big enough and big enough in my mind that I started ones, like this one! Though their existence back then was far less, stable. I'm not sure how many I deleted. I know one of my current ones was deleted and brought back. I don't think I deleted this one, but am not sure if did and brought back.

Glossing over other web efforts as looking more at the big picture here.

And didn't really get to social media other than blogs, which I consider social media, until got on Twitter which I know happened a bit over 9 years ago. Thanks to Twitter for reminding me where now also have plenty of other social media.

Well this post was useful. Thinking to myself maybe need to work more at putting down pertinent facts as get vague over time. And then I find myself wasting mental energy trying to remember details. Or just chattering away with wrong ones, like thought Google was around earlier in my own story.

Oh, so have talked much more in LOTS of other posts about my achieving my dreams, where now am more transparent on the full details. And so much may look like a work in progress to others. When if it were?

I'd still be doing more pondering. Now am more wondering, and talking things out.

But what about others?

So talk about myself as world's latest major discoverer, where my first BIG discovery was in 1996, with a math thing. And then had something I emphasize for some reason August 2002, also math. And also tend to emphasize publication in a math journal, where chief editor tried to pull after, and journal keeled over and died, back in 2004.

Now over fourteen years later it does stretch credulity for that reason as well. What about the much vaunted ability to put things out there on the web?

And yeah, web DOES work. My own analysis is more difficult here, but plenty of evidence suggests those events were epic for the global math community. And there you have a clue--epic for math community.

We DO rely much on what communities report.

Math people for some reason apparently decided to not report externally. And I am cagey on assessments I made as tried to study that community from the outside. I am NOT a mathematician.

There does appear to have been leakage into popular culture. I guess at much, but don't count it much as usually just find it funny to me. I do not discuss in detail as is highly speculative.

With other things I assessed immediate changes. Like there were shifts from my putting forward a functional definition of science. Turns out that can help scientists, and people who pay for science funding as well. Why I emphasized predictive certainty with checking them.

My purpose though was as stated: needed to shift how discussions went on impending changes to Earth's climate.

And my functional definition for entertainment lead to rather remarkable shifts as well.

So yeah, everything I put out gets checked, relentlessly. Then there are failures of various communities, to which I do NOT belong, to report! Which I find fascinating.

That strategy of just refusing to report I think often DID work--before the web. Such a simple strategy from a different time and now can say, from a different world in so many ways.

Our web enabled world creates a new reality. Now people all over the world can easily just check me on facts which to me is better.

My global attention reality, is merit ruled, web enabled.

Getting attention and money reality

More and more realize how much money is a recent invention. Have actually talked MY musings on how money gets introduced into the global system and is not intuitive. I focus on collateralized bank loans as needed or cannot get it done. If that is wrong, then, oh well. Makes sense to me.

If true though, modern money is an invention of the 20th century, which kind of makes it interesting to consider what was around before, which is a fun subject. But in essence money was directly backed by SOMETHING, like gold, while in our times...well I've talked money lots.

Attention from your fellow humans though is as old as humanity.

There has been an attention industry though which also arrived relatively recently when consider span of human civilization. That money-making attention industry found that people could be convinced to buy things when shown advertising along with other desired content. Idea was that enough people would buy something to pay for the distribution of the information with capital intensive means.

Advertising is being re-engineered by web reality.

On the web there is a vast global infrastructure which costs quite a bit actually, where human beings paid upfront the costs of the distribution system, which allows people like me to get free distribution of information across it. There is a cost there but am not having to pay it, despite having readers all over the globe.

So consider, in prior systems, people paid the distributors of content other humans valued, in order for that information to flow, but in our times that is unnecessary for the web. You STILL have to pay quite a bit to distribute through other systems but is a legacy situation.

Like, if I'm interested in learning something new for lots of reasons where can all be personal am more likely to get needed information NOW with a web search than by any other means. Even if that subject is talked on some other legacy medium, is unlikely to be convenient to me. Like I may notice when is scheduled, or is subject of an upcoming edition of something or other.

And people paying for that distribution on legacy systems?

Are more and more likely looking at an audience which either doesn't know better, is just doing things out of habit, or maybe does prefer the couch potato reality, of sitting back and letting others decide. Or maybe something else. Who knows. Who cares really if you've shifted primarily to web focus as I have.

But yeah then is a question of what pays for directing attention on the web? Am thinking, nothing. More and more do not think you can direct attention on the web much.

And advertising models are still evolving. But yeah, even if you DO find yourself moved by an ad or something promotional on the web, your buying power does NOT pay for the cost of distribution.

So on the web people must be paying for cost of content, which was shouldered by others in legacy industries.

Like now streaming services for video, are increasingly producing their own content.

Yeah that makes sense. So web shifts payment from paying for distribution with capital intensive means, to needing to pay for content, while actually there are still distribution costs.

Like with video streaming there is the cost of the streaming which at those scales does show up, as well as the infrastructure needed to stream to millions, and lots of figuring out how to recommend best. Still those are negligible as a percentage of costs per person compared to the primary costs in legacy industries for distribution of content.

With streaming video on the web can get a better handle on cost of content. And we DID pay lots extra for the delivery of content. Now more focus is on paying for the content direct.

Then you get to people like me who like to put up content, where cost of a global infrastructure is being born by HUGE corporations like here Google is the primary, which is also a part of Alphabet.

Presumably Google has some gain from Blogger and letting people like me talk about a variety of subjects, without being charged.

While am comforting myself that getting global attention does not necessarily connect to money in and of itself. Still is not an easy thing to do.

With a better handle on how I do it, which has taken quite a few years to learn, am also learning how others do it.

And reality is: not many people can pull global attention with ANYTHING that they do, consistently, year after year after year.

For me though is easier than not with skills now developed, as I like writing posts like this one. Is fun.

Social disruption is good for your attention

Finally have a better handle on how the web is transforming our globe with respect to our attention, which also involves our time. And for YEARS have hyped that wonder of efficient and easy distribution of information that the web provides, but the attention reality is about finding quality content.

That is disrupting prior attention industries. Where I no longer have to talk about the hypothetical of whether or not television shows were good or not, as we can just watch which ones are still here.

Like Star Trek was better than I even realized. And so many other television shows were SO much worse, and people are deciding on the constant now. The pressure against current television shows is not just with each other, but with whatever content is available, including from the past.

The television model was not what I thought, and is now evolving as web completes absorption of television, and folks can learn how such shows actually become successful.

The correct attention model learned with my own content is rather constant, with bursts of attention happening here or there in a way I now consider not terribly interesting. Have had things of mine in their own way go viral for a bit. Have dealt with bursts of celebrity in certain areas here and there.

And realized is a very big world, when you consider billions of people, and what interests them.

Have focused so much on television often and in this post as was so dominant in my life. And I learned some really wrong lessons from what I thought I knew about television. While now I rarely talk in detail and especially stay away from current shows--as I do not wish to accidently crush them.

Being able to channel the interests of millions with such a limited thing as television is, gave a lot of power to certain people and helped fuel a lot of industry, especially advertising. Now advertising has to evolve, and I think is great.

While I had to invest vast amounts of time and attention in figuring out web systems, with the money thing in the distance, until it became the biggest thing. Where I found out you do not need money to be global if you have interesting content.

Right now am stuck in a homeless shelter in Macon, GA, USA as try to figure out the money thing. Yet I can shift the reality for just about anything on television without much effort. And I no longer think being on TV would be a big deal. Am more global than much.

How can someone like me consistently put up content that draws attention from around planet Earth, year after year after year? And how do I connect that safely to some way to make money?

Such things I ponder.

Our species I think is very peculiar. More I pay attention to what from me keeps getting global attention? More I wonder. To me now television industry is tiny, but still kind of interesting, some times. They DO still try. Maybe now they will learn to be much better.

They had better, if television industry wishes to survive and am sure it will. I have an odd faith I think where maybe should question more why. Television industry is competing with a web of attention from all over. And people have standards now unlike before.

Today we can compare past as well as present in our decisions on best content. And choose at a moment what best moves us, or maybe those close to us. And it IS important to each, as is about how best to spend precious time.

Is yours--your time. You only have so much in a life.

Matters of time for that perspective

The one word that has ruled too much for my comfort for a long time has been FEAR as tried to figure things out with my web reality. Was like all my foundations tumbled away, and there were times simply tried to move less but always to keep moving.

Remember one of the last times tried to celebrate anything with family. Happily told my late stepmother about my prime counting find back August 2002. Am not sure how much made sense to her. And probably never did, and she died from cancer a few years ago.

With my folks disbelief definitely ruled. And it does hurt a bit especially...will not talk in detail as is a personal problem. The fear thing was smart though. Routinely have put up things that challenge nations and am usually right. To me information is not personal and is not playing favorites.

But humans can get mean about the messenger. Maybe there is some weird satisfaction for some with finding some way to lash out at reality you do not like.

The disbelief thing is understandable to me. Am the closest person to much of my own research of course, and have lots of motivation to understand the implications and to figure out the details. Still have constantly struggled with disbelief myself. But then I can test, and test. And can recheck and recheck. Or more importantly, make other discoveries that tell or find reality checks from others.

If I talk about big discoveries to others they naturally can look around to find out who is backing me up.

While for me for a long time there has been that puzzle of support that is very distant from what I can gather. Like I talk visits from all over the world to this blog. Could also talk about linking behavior.

Have been cautious in admitting that I remember only once finding a link to anything of mine from others on the web, where someone had linked to some of my math on her math blog. I rarely get feedback of any kind beyond looking at web stats. But also spent years at one point arguing with haters over math on Usenet, so kind of appreciate it? Yeah, but still is a puzzle.

With some of my things can look at stats, from Google showing linking behavior, which I appreciate. And maybe talk less because that messes with it, and am not sure why. I prefer transparency and talking things that help others build confidence I guess. But yeah will talk country counts, but not total visit numbers. Will not talk reported linking behavior much.

The FEAR that I felt when learned of my arrival to global attention levels did not stop me. It would have me go slowly. And years would go by and I would be fine with it, certain that in time there would be answers. Or was desperate that there would be. My emotions could shift between surreal calm with the surreal to total panic, which was thankfully rare.

Realized got to be a pathfinder. Before now, no humans could be so globally known in this way on the daily, with so much available for their fellow humans to consider so easily at such distances.

So I can just think some thoughts, and put some out here, and ponder which ones interest people all over our planet. That is SO cool. But why wouldn't there be some healthy fear attached? How could there not be?

You do not need some massive organization or backing network to be global in our times, though am sure it helps. And of course there are those with that who have a global experience.

No, the new isn't for those who find global attention in ways that are from legacy things of the past.

We now have a global network available widely. Letting in a new kind of global person and am one who is still trying to learn.

And have not been exactly welcoming for a long time in trying to encourage feedback. Have tried more now as have looked to be more commercial as money problems are dominating. Which to me is a specious reason. But good thing is, as try more, am challenging the fear. Is more manageable now.

So yeah for those who wonder. People close to me don't believe me. My support is so much web, with much from people who are invisible to me. Find myself trusting third parties, but primarily have Google sharing the information I need.

And am thankful for perspective that required so much time.

Feel like have been forced to understand the foundations of my sense of reality. And readily admit, share explanation that are often much for myself.

Will not regret being cautious in the face of so much change.

Do value the help. And so many of you reading are so much a mystery to me, but your support has been so important for so many years. Maybe in time will get better perspective there as well.

Meanwhile the great adventure is what I like to call it all--continues. And things just keep getting more interesting I think. And I DO think a lot. Is comforting for me, really.

Attention, money and better perspective

Am owning certain things more now, with more direct explanation of my situation. Where have known for years but was puzzling much, and also trying to absorb. Like for years would repeat country counts for my blogs, as tried to get a handle. Now is more matter-of-fact. For example so far this year, this blog has had visits according to Google Analytics from 108 cities in only 39 countries. To me that's disappointing as have seen much higher numbers in the past.

Thank you for reading though! Those stats don't even give all the folks, but just hint. Maybe they reflect your reading here, maybe they do not. But at least you know others like you are from lots of places.

But what does it mean really?

Well it is about people like YOU reading and others around the globe who show up, with that method of measure which is just an indicator. For quite a few years was focused on trying to build audience numbers to something which would bring income, where have given up here.

Now have a better perspective on how the web works.

And of course your reading here does not mean money from you, and why should it? My focus shifted from money to thinking was good for community. And hey, I like having readers. I do write to be read.

But have routinely noted was funding my own efforts while working a regular job, until that got difficult, as in difficult getting one. And concluded that the web attention was the reason!

And was like, huh? But lots of the problem was with so much focus on math, where math establishment folks were NOT behaving which have talked quite a bit. And yup, for me there was a long time thinking could not be happening. My own personal beliefs about mathematicians were relentlessly challenged until evaporated under the weight of the evidence.

Learning about social disruption in other areas helped as well. But intellectually understood long before could accept emotionally.

Then discovered also there IS a system around attention, when it comes to making money. And that system is a legacy from the past, and does NOT include helping someone known globally thanks to major discoveries not acknowledged, or functional definitions that help simplify important areas. And also discovered does not seem inclined to help someone with powerful ideas simply handed to the world, like with open source.

Am thinking now is a system designed to force you into the clutches of money people.

And have posted about how money people scare me, which have noted before where yeah, dawns on me is not the kind of thing they'd like to hear.

Theoretically, the web can enable folks like myself to make money direct, without money people, though I do think they have a place, if professional and decent. Yes, I do believe money people can be decent. And by money people I mean those whose primary focus is money. So a money person can help another person make money from things they have, which the money person does not have.

Like a singer with an agent who can't sing, or do anything of interest to others, except help to get and negotiate contracts that enable that singer and the agent to make money. Singer is the one who shows up and does the work, of course. You know, like singing songs for an appreciative crowd.

My situation got complicated by race things but is dominated am sure by the social disruption of the web. The race things in my opinion were a minor impact, where finally decided may as well go ahead and clear for a variety of reasons. But of course, when you consider that I have several things that draw attention from around the globe, is improbable perceptions around such mattered much.

Like 39 countries seems dinky to me, for this year so far. All of last year was only 68 countries, with people from 322 cities which is more impressive. But yeah, when is just some numbers read off from Google Analytics where have been looking at similar for years? Emotional impact has dropped significantly.

Highlighting in bold feels good though. I still do look at such things and wonder.

We're not talking about some industry backed person, or an organization. Am enabled by the web, but that attention is purely for my ideas. Where this blog is just one arena. Am so global with so much.

It does mess with my mind as try to get a grasp as to how possible and what does it fully signify?

Years ago remember when would ponder: with those kinds of attention levels, what should I say for the good of the world? Now the sentence seems pretentious to me.

Cool thing though is when I notice which things DO interest more around the globe. So your interest helps me. Like to think my writing is useful to others, and I learn also from what draws more attention, and when. Is a constant also, so am constantly learning here, and elsewhere with my global things from interest of people from around the world.

Sure is fun for me! And am confident will figure out the money thing. Am SO scared of money people though. Wish web had developed more in the arena of best processes for money-making by now.

Part of me wonders about that though, what is going on?

Thoughts on my overall plan

When was 18 years old was feeling really good about my capabilities and decided someday would have something big enough to shake the planet intellectually. And especially to dismiss the delusion that some humans are inherently inferior to other humans who think they are inherently superior. And thought a bit and realized would need to find something HUGE with math. Why? Because people lie. Figured needed to use math as an objective arena.

But didn't get focused on expending the vast amounts of mental energy necessary really until April 1995. Am not sure why that was the case, but by 1996 had what I know now was my first major math result. Dutifully sent off to a math journal where an editor rejected the proof as too simple and the game was ON.

Yeah I needed to pick math. In some other arena opinions could rule. But with math, truth rules even if it can take some time. That math editor? Someday the world will know his name and study his entire life just to wonder what was wrong with him. I think that's funny.

Over two decades later have more major math results than most, where debate with myself whether or not have topped out with the greats.

Fun thing is the web really arrived for me and established math people decided to run. Would be more interesting to watch the math chase them down. There is a stunning irony there.

And have been leisurely pumping out the results and studying other things too. It can take awhile. So for instance went into studying entertainment.

The math does most of the work in its arena. Is just so much better than what was known before! Is stunning really. The web puts the math out there.

So there is a part of me that tells me that I can kind of goof off much now. I find that hard to do though. My mental engine likes to chew on problems. It's a habit. So since I have advanced intellectual techniques was enlightening for me to ponder entertainment.

Now billions of people will get better entertainment as a result, including me.

Will admit am more focused on myself there! Have been frustrated often with entertainment which JUST misses. Maybe figure should have some perks with my intellectual capabilities. Though there is that little thing of the current entertainment industry especially in the US facing...probably going belly-up. But do not worry! There are more people to replace the entertainers most of the world will forget about anyway in a few years, if that long.

There are some AMAZING people who are going to wow our world and will be so much better that they will get that chance with far less of the nasty that prior others faced.

Is a great thing really.

And entertainment is an endless arena for problem solving, as can create fictional worlds and realities where imagination rules. Find can relax in entertainment arena.

Social disruption of better is best explained I decided with getting a car ride and paying for it with your smartphone. So many taxi drivers weren't excited about that and they will lose. Customers will win but will take a bit, until will seem silly to everyone, including the taxi drivers who will replace the ones who fought so hard now.

In time, will find most people just love the idea of getting a ride the best way available, including taxi drivers. Isn't it fascinating how that works?

People who will fight, fight, FIGHT when if they were smart enough, they'd know they will not only lose, but the world will someday make fun of them. I can make fun of them now. But usually am careful. People can get really mean. Besides, maybe it isn't the nice thing to do.

So yeah, we will have better mathematics become part of the establishment. I picked that arena on purpose. Truth in math is relentless.

But the fun thing for those who know am right is looking at what current mathematicians are doing, when I just consider most of them to be frauds. So to me? They're entertaining. Especially if they have other people wowing over something I know is false. Some of these things are so dumb I ponder, how do they fool anyone? But most people are afraid of math? And most people trust establishment?

Like do YOU often just trust in areas where you are not sure you can check? I know even I do. It bothers me too. But there is just SO much knowledge and so many important systems, where I don't think anyone can have a good handle on them all. Which includes world's latest major discoverer.

So thinking now that the plan was a good one. And web has helped IMMENSELY.

And thank God could focus on math, and had the ability. Just because I knew I needed an objective arena where lies could not hold did not mean I could pull it off. But the logic of math appeals to me.

Maybe was more built into who I am than I'm willing to admit. Then is quite likely would have pursued mathematical discovery no matter what. But maybe the other motivations just made it more fun? Or helped me keep at it, even facing some challenges? Maybe. Can rationalize with the best of them. Does not make such musings true.

The math itself is the work product for the ages.

Like when you learn geometry, do you really ponder what Euclid was really thinking?

Am a product of my times, and my results seem tailored for the latest age of humanity, when information rules, and the web lets people know.

Web lets people get useful information all over the world. So for instance lets people check me easily. And lets me put up messages like this post, read all over the world.

To crush prior stupid system that was which tried to dismiss so many humans as inferiors requires vast amounts of energy best provided by those trying to maintain it. But how do you get them to waste that energy destroying the very thing they think they are protecting? Good question.

Am so glad I asked it, you know?

Three tiers of resistance

Figured out more flexible and advanced frameworks where most dramatically succeeded in three areas: math, science and entertainment.

IN mathematics introduced a new math discipline which can do math itself. What that means is that a researcher can probe mathematical equations with a tool invented one can say, by me, which does mathematical manipulation, demonstrably better than any human. And the math doesn't make mistakes either. And I promptly found a few pertinent major mathematical discoveries.

Now feel like math people would have fought no matter what, as what I found is so much better than what the entire world had before. But resistance was guaranteed also by my discovery that a flaw had entered into established mathematical field, allowing mathematicians to have fake results. I demonstrated the flaw with a cool result in a paper that got published, then chief editor tried to delete out. And a little later math journal imploded, as in, went defunct. That is SUCH a wild story but happened in 2004.

I knew I had a fight on my hands back then, but still it wasn't like I relished it. And now fourteen years later, is still ongoing. But have detected certain people may believe they finally have leverage to suppress the information. Um, it was never suppressed. They don't know how the web works.

I think they're naively irritating.

In science came up with a functional definition for science. Best thing is helps to figure out if people are doing actual science or engaging in fraud. That one is cleaner I think. I noticed lots of global changes as soon as I introduced it. And have that definition in a page on this blog, where collect my formalized functional definitions. Resistance there is more tedious as in just not acknowledging, which doesn't matter much.

Importantly my functional definition of science not only helps scientists do actual science--it enables others to check on them and make sure that is what they are doing.

But in entertainment is where things moved most rapidly. I hedge a lot with just about everything as we're talking global across the board with impacts across all of humanity. Helps to be sure and to hedge.

However, have witnessed expected things, like in US box office. While has been a more muddled picture elsewhere, and think is about objective data available versus areas where people may have routinely lied. For instance, am very wary of television ratings. But how do I know?

With US box office at least there is a number that is generated by people paying to go to movies, which in fitting with MY expectations in terms of a collapse of old ways, with a few movies revealing audience is still there. I can tell which movies will flop now from previews, as easily is, most of them.

Went into entertainment partly because was a lighter area with less big implications. Like the math impacts global security systems, of every nation. That used to worry me more. Now am more used to it.

Am looking at severe disruptions where web is doing most of it SHOULD admit, where my ideas are part of it actually, in all three of those areas. Entertainment will break sooner though as there is only so much money available for appearances. Movie industry will necessarily break soon, but am certain others will as well as revenue dries up.

Either they switch in directions my theories indicate or they will not make enough money to be profitable.

In science things can move more slowly because of entrenched institutions. And in math there is no indication at this time that they can be moved at all as are both entrenched and now dedicated with a pile of things where desperation must rule them. So no, there is no convincing of the worst of the math people with truth. My solution there is, of course, out of the box.

Am world's latest major discoverer who came into a world with entrenched systems where breaking them up and replacing with better is running into fierce resistance. I knew that years ago but did not admit so cleanly for lots of reasons.

I needed those resisting, to have dark hope.

Makes them less dangerous. AFTER ALL, when all else fails? Human beings can get extremely physically violent. These people needed to believe they had a chance, to be contained.

My estimation is that it is finally safe enough to give a cleaner overview. However we will find out.

Web has taken over most of the heavy lifting. Which is also a protective measure. Am done with the most important things. And am impressed that I survived.

Human species has a history which is so relentlessly violent.

However, our species can advance. And people like me do come along, and try to survive and get a few more cool things going. To me is a really cool endeavor.

Things can get SO messed up

Good news is that the web enables people to communicate better and share important ideas all over the world. But the challenging news is: that can really mess you up, and is important to realize ahead of time.

So you can be prepared. Or try to be.

And also realize, much is being figured out, so is VERY hard often to get a feel for your situation. Life must continue, regardless. Where with myself found had to drop some ways of looking at things from the past, while gleefully grabbing hold of better perspective of the now.

Like yeah, am world's latest major discoverer. And happily shared math things of great importance across the web and watched as things changed. And members of the math establishment apparently learned they could, at least near as I can tell so far, ignore properly acknowledging. Where still am not sure how they're pulling that one off. Am finding it finally irritating again. For a bit was cool with it, after the past rages.

Yeah and again am glad is math. So can prove things with absolute certainty. Which yeah would check and re-check and check again. Wish to be logical, but do not trust myself. Supposedly could trust others. That is not what reality demonstrated.

One thing with their continued success against easy mathematical proof may be people thinking that hey, if what I have is so important? How could experts in the math field possibly ignore? Yeah, see the Catch-22? I did YEARS ago.

If people struggling to hold on to advantages from the past can do that to me, when is easy to prove am world's latest major discoverer, then imagine what they can do to others.

Wow, I actually have it better. At least I can prove beyond any doubt. Others might not have that perfect assurance.

Actually is interesting that math folks would APPARENTLY fight like they have. Have to hedge much. So much is about NOT doing what is expected if presented with something new and wonderful that is mathematical. Is not like I need to do much but watch and wonder. Fighting against mathematical truth? You cannot win. You can delay the inevitable, but human beings are going to go with what actually works. Is just a matter of time.

It still seems so strange. Web disruption in that way is not intuitive to me. That dedication AGAINST might evolve as well. Then am sure would push the web to evolve more in reaction. That seems cool at least envisioning a more dynamic process, of action and reaction, with web evolution.

Am looking at arenas where people apparently have decided they no longer care what it takes and they will personally stop web revolutions if they can.

I find that attitude intriguing. And yeah, but with what methods? Find am struggling at imagining.

The web apparently is aware. And how the web reacts to such things? Can be kind of hard to understand as well. So will try to give MY guesses as how web reacts. And I talk the web kind of as an entity when am not sure to what extent may be. But is more fun.

But yeah, so maybe those HUGE social media numbers were not telling us what we thought, though I believe that having millions of followers on social media IS significant. But our belief helped drive growth--of social media. Are we more important to the web? Or is growth more important?

My view is that growth and continued evolution of the web is more important.

And I suspect the web would agree.

So yeah, expect harsh reality. Look to have things that are great on the one hand bring massive challenges on the other. And get very wary when it comes to money things. My analysis is that the web hasn't even bothered solving the money problem, as what's the motivation?

While for ME, there is HUGE motivation, and have learned to share more. Like yesterday updated my post talking what is now a situation of having been evicted. That is painful. Why share? Helps me process and also yeah, you can check me on so much that I say which is important. That information is relevant in understanding my situation as well.

Am more convinced there is a war that has erupted which is futile. Yeah, I know, resistance is futile, is classic. But the web does not care as these people are unaware of how much the web already knows. Am looking at things that simply look naive to me, until I realize: money is their focus.

So we need to figure out the money problem. And by we, mean web folks who for a long time have just been happily discovering and exploring new possibility. While others may have been ruthlessly trying to hold on to the world that was.

Have talked money much so noting a shift here as in the past thought was simply my concern to figure out how to make money. Did not occur to me also needed to consider nasty humans fighting to keep web people impoverished, as why would that occur to me?

It is such silly behavior if true. Ok, so there is a slight adjustment to considering that possibility.

And expect things to be messed up on the web if you start getting some success measures. Like with me, with MASSIVE global reach, and puny other things. Also be suspicious more on monetary matters and less trusting. Considering the possibility of short-sighted human beings fighting a losing battle which messes up your finances in the now.

The web adventure? May be simply heating up. Is cool. Is just more knowledge really. Gotta love it.

Sure know I do.

Comfort contemplating historical resistance to ideas

One of the best things that happened for me YEARS ago when trying to process struggles with my own ideas, from wondering if were valid to wondering how might if ever be accepted was to look at historical examples. There are some stunningly tragic stories. And there are a few that helped me much! Where explaining that comfort is useful I think.

Like recently posted yet again about Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis who ended up in an insane asylum where he died after he tried to push medical doctors in his times to wash their hands before treating pregnant women.

In our times we can witness fights over innovation like, I like to note that you have taxi companies fighting hard rather than embracing letting people book and pay for rides using their smartphones. Thankfully less tragic than a man dying so awfully when he was working to save lives, so to me is useful there as well as emotion is maybe more weird.

Also telling we are not so advanced as a species, still. Could put up quite a few examples actually but have seized upon a few that I think are easily shared, easily checked, and hard to challenge.

We humans evolved. For me was something had to accept as an adult as was taught by fundamentalist Christians, and when was a kid learning, what was taught all seemed to make so much sense! Which turns out is good for human community. If everyone questions everything, then human society falls apart.

Is fascinating to consider that like mythologies are no longer taught by most as valid religions in our time, and as science continues to develop and maybe gets taught better, eventually humans will find it remarkable that doubting evolution was a thing.

Questioning everything? Would be hard to get much done. As like will dutifully work at this post which am editing now, after having worked hard to produce. And post updated version, confident others will read! But how do I know? How do I know anyone is ever reading anything I put on the web? Such thoughts can hamper DOING things. And I look at these words, before will go live. What shows is what I let remain. How do I know YOU exist? I imagine you when writing. Check web stats as best can and other things. Trust that the web works like I think it does. Effort made. Words will be put up. Our belief in systems is important.

Still we must constantly question to keep our many varieties of human systems healthy and valid am sure.

Like to think there are those people who DO keep questioning and work to be one myself, though I do not try to question everything. Naturally focus in areas where believe will have much meaning for my life, and have felt greatly rewarded by that questioning. But answers can also bring challenges.

So yeah, you get stories where people can prove things beyond any reasonable doubt, and still face fierce resistance, which only subsides over time. And eventually folks can wonder over things like, how could medical doctors ever have fought fiercely--to not wash their hands before treating people?

Which is a comfort for the discoverers and other innovators. Humanity can be understood. And is not really terrible actually as long as you do not just run into walls. People may throw walls up in front of you, when you can prove you are right, but try not to run into them. Because that will hurt.

Joking a bit, as the point is--can run into resistance which is NOT rational. Which cannot be overcome by rational means by the discoverer. That sentence bothers me. Is it true? What does history reflect?

Historical record indicates that over time the truth wins out.

Like eventually science found out about microbes, and was understood that hand-washing could destroy dangerous ones. And we have an easy to understand explanation of how protects patients--from their doctors, who in the past killed off quite a few by spreading deadly infections.

So took other discoverers. Like research of Louis Pasteur came after Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis.

Will admit as time progresses with my own story recognize how much is shifting rapidly. But does help appreciate the discoverers. People who question much, are important to others like them as well, for that additional reason.

Which to me is useful perspective worth sharing.
