Community or marketable?

One question ask myself often with how much I share is: where is the money?

And thankfully started on web over 20 years ago trying to solve famous math problems. Seemed like a good idea at the time. And you don't do that for the money, but at first said I did and was convinced was a decent strategy, but no. Doesn't work that way.

Eventually realized mathematics is a community good, and I enjoyed searching for my own mathematical discoveries and talking that process out on the web.

Importantly my experience was better for sharing and there was no gain from not sharing. Learned more faster. Great lesson learned.

But spend a lot of time with web things and wonder, when can I expect to make money with something?

Have talked much on that subject across more than one blog, but here will simply note that a marketable product is needed to make money, and you sell that product--at a market.

Oh. So need a marketplace and good marketplaces have rules and prefer, or should prefer, to have products that are top quality. If not, how do you feel? Like if walking through a grungy store with sketchy things for sale? We even want the store to be...well most people do want a clean store, right?

Ok. Can do quality. But where are marketplaces where I might sell things I make?

Which is where am stuck. Good news is, have focused on community things like math, an open source product, and other idea things meant to be free like my science of entertainment.

So am good. Community focus got me global.

Being global is great and web enables that option for someone like me, and have learned a lot.

But yeah, wouldn't mind making a marketable product, like have considered writing fiction. But old 20th Century systems for publishing? Am NOT interested.

And oh yeah, money people scare me. So am like get an agent ever? Hell no. So yeah.

Web marketplaces are still the future. And that future is coming folks, but is sadly not here, yet.

When opportunity requires all you have

Have made plenty of efforts to explain myself but keep feeling like more could be added for things to make sense. Like have mentioned had major math discoveries, but importantly back in 2004 a paper of mine finally went live. That math paper demonstrated how to create a perfect looking mathematical argument by ALL the established rules--that nonetheless had an incorrect conclusion.

So yeah, by the rules accepted by mathematicians--the paper is perfect. But you can use a separate mathematical argument to prove that the conclusion is incorrect.

Yeah, really cool, huh? I thought so, and realized that with that demonstration my place in human history was SET in a really big way. Which it is. And it DOES relate to questions about mathematical consistency where Kurt Gödel had famous work in that area. And will admit did have some concerns that I might have sunk human mathematics, which were quickly dispelled. For people who wish more who have mathematical background talk on my blog Some Math which also links to my paper.

The copy is available thanks to a European agency (thank God for those Europeans) as the math journal that originally published it, keeled over and died, after one more edition, after the chief editor deleted my paper out, falsely claiming it was withdrawn. I did NOT withdraw it. Why would I?

So yeah clearly mathematicians did not react the way I expected as we are now at 15 years later, and the paper is still there. It STILL demonstrates a flaw and to my knowledge that flaw has still not been officially addressed. But now maybe it makes more sense how I got attention from 100+ countries where initially that was with math.

But I pioneered advanced problem solving tools, which I like to label as a process of abstract reductionism.

And I kept going. Made more math discoveries but started studying other things so functionally defined science. And more recently functionally defined entertainment, and did other problem solving things. Like have analyzed the global monetary system, and others things.

Oh so was it a big deal for me for mathematicians to not officially recognize my discovery? Well it upset me. I expected their help!!! And when was clear they wouldn't help got very upset. But also was curious and realized had a unique opportunity.

So yeah I plugged the hole in the foundations of established mathematics.

Refined my mathematical tools and made some cool major discoveries--without concern of competition.

Though reality is WAS concerned for years until as the years went by fully accepted was in a cool cruise mode--all by myself.

From my perspective as a major discoverer--it was as good as it gets. No shared credit for anything. NO having to make stupid speeches or show up in a suit for some academic whatever. NO reason to be an academic at all. And freedom to range without question.

But also was very stressful. My reality often felt surreal. My advanced thinking tools could give me massive influence hard to explain. And I still had to work for a living. Which got increasingly harder as have talked though things are intriguingly working better in that regard now.

But yeah by ignoring a MASSIVE flaw that showed their math was inconsistent, and needed a fix, those folks claiming to be mathematicians? To me simply proved they were not functionally. And so they were of no use to me anyway. I began distancing myself from them and like to emphasize am NOT a mathematician myself.

Does the world really care? I debate with myself. The math I use is very easy, so there is no doubt of anything I stated here. The paper is still available so mathematicians can in AWE check it at will. And I have massive influence with a global reach of 100+ countries which apparently is not going anywhere.

For a long time I thought I needed the mathematical community. Eventually realized that was silly.

I could build a better one.

And do much else. Am a major discoverer for the 21st century. Who has been given free reign to wing it often and put a unique spin on plenty of things. And I try not to take myself too seriously. Even though routinely have found myself protecting the world, which at times has gotten weird.

But then again, am just glad have been able. God knows why some person like myself gets the kind of authority I have, where have defined authority on my Seriously Commercial blog.

Over the last 15 years plus often have looked at myself and noted to myself--am not impressed. Often I wonder, how do I even know how to do these things, really?

Am a person though willing to seize opportunity though what was in front of me has taken all I have. And consider for me global attention is just a thing. And is NOT going anywhere.

Now though, more and more am like, is cool.

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.

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.

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.


James Harris

Protections against pressure

One thing might help me to admit is how much work, especially on my blogs, is designed to get ahead of potential pressure in certain areas.

For example long have been concerned could be pushed into being some kind of political figure. So came up with Core Middle Party where link goes to post on Lost in Commentary made October 27, 2011. My personal ideas for a political party which establishes my baseline on political positions as was easier to just make a complete one than not. Was like mental effort to establish SOME positions or mental effort to just get a complete political party? About the same I concluded. So yeah, may as well just make a complete one.

With my stated goal being to be out of politics as much as possible. Which to me makes sense that I would make up my own political party to stay out of politics. If puzzles you, maybe think about it until can figure out the logic.

Lots political is on Lost in Commentary where had my baseline public initial position on American racism, posted January 31, 2011. Where have finally clarified things with several posts more recently as look to be finished with the area. And re-reading it, is interesting how much has shifted even in how I talk the subject. Like compare with my latest post on subject on this blog. And am surprised at some of my phrasing back then. Is interesting to note too that science now says race is a social construct. Well DO like progress. Will leave older post authentic to its time and not fiddle with it.

Was important for me to be clear of race as soon as possible.

On business side was concerned about monetary pressure which remains a concern. But much work was done here. Like figured out my own analysis of how money flows, posted April 29, 2015. Where have LOTS of posts on more than one blog covering my position that money is just an abstraction of a favor with a social IOU backed by society itself. Is important though that with that position have a post on Lost in Commentary talking how money is introduced into the global economy, posted July 27, 2015.

These are posts that help me decide around certain potential pressure points, where others might maybe push for something or other. So am collecting here. What happens is I reference when needed and yeah can find posts, but is easier to have links in one place.

So have key posts that handle political, as well as ones related to international trade, global economy, and now have finished my political position on race as look to separate from area completely.

Works in progress are on areas where will make money myself! And will leave outside of this post concerns about employment things, or how to make money things. Mainly looking to be sure have completely handled these other things. I think I have. So is like, if for some reason reached a point where someone might want to ask me questions in these areas, would have important things, already answered.


James Harris

Intriguing power of explanation with race

One thing have found myself doing much is writing my own functional views on important things. Where to me predictive certainty is key to determining value: what can you DO with such things where get valid results?

Recently found myself talking race in several areas including here, but in a recent post declaring American racism nearly dead on my G+-- (Update August 10, 2019: Now gone so deleted link.)--has something wish to study more closely:

So educated folks now know that race was an invention--by racists, who were trying to arbitrarily select out some humans as sub-human in a pseudo-class system.

Which is a topic with personal implications for me, as grew up in the Deep South and of course racism was a concern. While I had a unique experience, as a result of being considered gifted, where have wondered about that much. For me became obvious when I'd face people struggling to try to maintain some sense of intrinsic superiority even when utterly failing to demonstrate with real world ability.

Is remarkable to reach a point where can write to me a simple sentence which encapsulates the most important concepts of such a powerfully destructive thing as concept of race.

Reason racists wanted some to be less than human was to justify exploiting them. Like you can exploit a human, but is it exploiting some beast of burden to pull a plow? Of course if you recognize humanity then not only is the exploitation wrong, but also demonstrates a laziness on your part if wish to live off the better efforts of your fellow humans.

It was pseudo-class in that the racists wished to give themselves an elevated position by birth. Where that is not recognized in the United States, which made it a fake class system. Unlike true class systems like in Europe.

And that is all there is to race. Modern science now calls a social construct. And you have an explanation from me on MY opinion of functional aspects, but with what power?

Actually can now deconstruct every aspect around race that you can witness in a society like in the United States. When people can understand something, in my experience? Then they can make better choices. Seems obvious to me.

So is American racism actually nearly dead? And answer is, yes. However, even with a relatively small percentage of Americans desperate to believe they are innately superior they can do a LOT of damage. And will do things to exploit others, which is remarkable to me. Like how can you believe YOU are superior by exploiting better ideas of some other person? They rationalize much I guess.

And of course you have disadvantaged populations still struggling to figure out their place in society, and how to have real opportunity. Especially if still routinely run into hostiles, fighting to both keep their treasured belief in innate superiority, and also hide from consequences in a society that is no longer openly tolerating it.

Merit rules ARE better of course. Web helps as people's behavior over time declares best who they are. Is much harder to hide ideas hostile to core humanity in our times. And much harder to simply build your success on exploiting others, without eventually getting caught.

As web enables information to flow, we learn better about our best behavior. Where can then find the value in sharing! Better ideas am sure help people. To me is that simple.


James Harris

Some speculative explanation

So maybe now a more complete story can be told, but with admitted speculation. So yeah since was 18 had an idea in mind wanted something big, where part of the reason was to debunk racist nonsense. And did focus on math, because it is objective. But wasn't until was 26, had what I now know to be my first major result, when went looking not just to keep my mind active, but had a run-in with a person I believe was racist. Part of me was like, am just going to fix this thing completely.

That result when I was 26 back in 1996 was rejected by an editor at a prestigious math journal as too simple. Where now am like, oh. Yeah you think he's saying too simple to be correct, but now am focusing more on social disruption. Also figure that result, which I knew could help in materials science, and things like molecular chemistry may have actually been picked up and used.

As messed up as may sound to us over 20 years later, part of me would shrug at that thought, and of course now know that December 1999 would come up with an approach that I found out September 2008, lets the math actually do the complex algebraic manipulations for you. Where now realize was completely disrupted myself during that period.

Was managing to do things. Spent much time talking math online. Felt like was running into resistance, but for me really was just trying to reprocess how to place myself in our world. And of course had accomplished my goals. But where was the recognition I expected?

And was working, at times, though struggling a bit there. Where things were going smoothly again finally in San Francisco when was doing data entry for a major insurance company. Now realize yeah, when I put a picture up in 2010? Yeah could have something to do with being made part of a layoff a little bit later.

Really was done for the most part with math things by 2012. And realize by now had some of the biggest things...well is hard to even write. And also knew had lots of attention on the web by SOME measures, while there was contradictory information. At one point was upset and out of it enough to contact my representatives in the US Congress. Was in San Francisco at the time. Asked them if they would investigate Google to check if they were messing with me with web stats. Office of the one senator to whom I sent was smart enough to reply, or nice enough. The one to a representative went unanswered. So I ranted about that person a bit online. I now realize for sure--that has an impact.

My assessment now is that social disruption was the primary reason early, and that race things may have played into it as I ranged, as some people maybe thought could leverage the techniques have been discussing lately. Which is probably lots of why I addressed now.

Because have a process for figuring out answers, where the truth works.

Then I can apply solutions--globally.

Where I also considered entertainment, and figured it needed improving. Where yeah, with me, means figured should improve entertainment, globally.

You see the pattern? I think is comforting, as I rarely will involve myself with things NOT global, and noted respect national boundaries. So when you get even more granular like down to regional levels? No way am involved unless am LIVING in that region, but then am more likely to use typical tools.

And at the local level? Just am like everyone else, mostly. Well I try to be. Where my methods are simply about relying on powerful truths! Which may work local to some extent, but so can yours, you know?

But yeah, when I work to solve things? You can notice I figure may as well solve as completely as possible, where will focus global routinely.

Now am thinking that yeah, these kinds of disruptions draw attention, and have faced people who maybe are trying to figure out what is going on--which is good! Who maybe also are doing things to try and contain me, which is bad, and probably illegal.

After all, am only doing legal things myself. Am sharing much, and trying to explain much. And reality is, have just figured out major things of great importance. Going after a major discoverer?

Just will not work well over time.

That effort to contain important information though to preserve a status quo? Well that can be functionally understood with its success. How different our world today if some Black guy had been trumpeted as a major math discover back in 1996? Probably not much different in my opinion.

That's a hard learned opinion though. In the past would get angry asking myself that question, so certain was facing effective suppression techniques. Now am not so sure.

People actually seem to have shifted much as if truth were widely known. Making me wonder. After all, the press is just one thing. And not even necessarily a very trusted thing in our times.

Knowledge can simply move.

But consider, now the big picture of how am so global? Lots of major discoveries where social disruption leading to territorial behavior gives much of the explanation for lack of proper press, but American racism probably plays into it later and to some degree. And world has thankfully had the benefits of my ideas, but maybe some concerns there about things currently going on.

Which to me is an interesting speculative explanation. To go along with so many other attempts at explaining. So why so much? Well have explained is not just about me figuring it out, but also needing to explain for others. With any explanation can check how helpful it is.


James Harris

Making sense then of race things

Having a functional perspective on race is useful, like my functional perspective on entertainment and in other areas, where like to emphasize now considered by science to be a social construct. But to what purpose? Why would any society construct such a concept?

In essence the British for a bit were certain there was something utterly more awesome about being, British. Those ideas in the US were grabbed and a scientific sheen for their times was added eventually, as yeah Sir Isaac Newton really introduced modern science. So was around.

Not many people around the world of course were exactly in agreement with the British ever, though on their supposed intrinsic awesomeness should note.

Well the 1950's arrive and DNA is found and some were like, woo hoo! As they figured could finally nail down this intrinsic inferiority they supposed was in supposedly lesser races and we know how that went. With science of genetics found we're all descended from humans who left Africa--so were dark-skinned. And we're all related more out here, than there with the folks who descended from those who stayed in Africa.

What a downer for some people am sure. So what about appearances?

Genetics gave answer there as well. Turns out humans are very malleable with regard to appearance related to climate, like will get longer noses in dry climates. And that's really it. And it's a small area of our genetic code as well. And is not at all meaningful to any important human characteristics like intelligence.

Oh so that functional on race thing part. Well after slavery ended in the US over 150 years ago, am thinking the former slaveowners who now were in charge still of much, in hiring people who HAD been slaves, did not value their work properly. Which was probably their honest assessment but then I suspect they noticed something--the deliberately lower pay was demoralizing and debilitating to those who were forced to take it.

And that became a business practice which swept the globe, which I say then, was learned after the end of American slavery by the people who had been slaveowners.

Turns out if you deliberately underpay humans it messes them up all kinds of ways. Gives YOU more money by taking what should have been shared, but also--helps you control them.

Like consider wild things in US: Black people are more likely to be underpaid, are less likely to have higher educational attainment, and vote less as a percentage than other groups.

So like in my home state of Georgia, USA, despite being roughly a third of the population, Black folks do not seem to wield much political clout! Is very odd, eh? Now have given explanation.

Of course we know that women also struggle with underpay, and now can understand why: makes them easier to control. In areas like the American entertainment industry, we have now learned what some people got with that extra control. Making highly desirable performers more malleable?

An incentive to pay less, with lessons I think learned, from watching people who had been slaves, disintegrate psychologically, when deliberately underpaid.

So yeah, was figured out on Black folks am saying, where the worst impacts are STILL there. Where was less potent when used against others, with women also singled out, apparently at least partly as sex objects for predators, who learned was way to help them victimize women, and men or any gender, and also, children. However, most of the effort apparently was at women who were trophies, in my opinion. I think the record reflects that but do worry about my own biases.

Web is cleaning things up. Like there is talking pay which makes it harder to deliberately underpay and get away with it, for most folks. With Black folks? You need to push. Oh yeah, if wondering how you can help, there you go. And again, asking questions can be useful. As get that person to question training that has been highly refined over more than 150 years to accept what should NOT be accepted.

So yeah, some quick questions to just about ANY American Black person and you can be like, huh?

The indoctrinated training is SO DEEP you can have puzzling conversations with Black folks in the US about why they do not ask for proper pay, why they too often do not vote, and why they so often do not strive for better educations.

Simple answer is: the people who trained them got them to do exactly what they wanted them to do.

Things which do not apply to me. I vote just fine, though have missed some, but for the usual reasons. I have been properly paid, and only faced underpay while studying some things. And have a degree in physics from Vanderbilt University. (How I escaped the dysfunctional training is an entirely different story though.)

Have puzzled much about strange conversations with other Black folks. And now I puzzle no more.

Why is it not all explained like above if so simple? Well if it were explained, wouldn't that get rid of it?

Web is finally getting around to that task which is why you know now.

And the British apparently are more humble these days too. Isn't progress grand?


James Harris

Wacky cool story really

So to recap, Black guy, me, decided decades ago to put the kibosh on American racism with my own major discovery picking math to beat denial. I succeed, in 2002, and get denial anyway so just keep stacking up the major discoveries, including publication in 2004, showing a BIG hole in the current methodology that lets math guys fake results if they wish.

Flash forward, keep pumping out things, and web lets me know have pulled interest from 100+ countries, but somehow the money is missing! And I keep working at things, and go political, as well as define entertainment functionally.

Where lots of wild happen with the real world, where actually am involved there with MUCH, but that denial thing is STILL happening.

But web finally starts tearing enough of the old systems apart that maybe more people will believe me, while I get better at explaining my story? Maybe? Definitely practicing quite a bit.

-------------------------------------------------------

To me is a great story also in that is kind of ironic, given history of United States. Some Black dude gets the honor of my discoveries? Why not? Went looking for new ways with math because of American racism, I think. Also is probable there was a part of me drawn in that area. Potential apparently and motivation for lots of reasons and got the results. And at this point the deck is so stacked in my favor I succeeded it blows away any kind of sane doubt.

And of course now reject concept of race as science is now calling a social construct. Am certain was just made up by racists anyway and like to talk that opinion, and we are just one human race actually. So don't even feel resentment for any group by race as, got all that previous? No such thing really as a Black race, so no such thing really as any of the supposed others. We are one human species, whether we like it or not.

Can be simpler to use the old things for dramatic purposes though, as am doing with this post in calling myself a Black guy. Why not? May as well finally get some good use from racist crap. So yeah tone of this post is very different than others as VERY deliberately try to exploit.

And was right to worry how things might go as old systems collapsed but thanks to the web have lots of other examples! Like why fight to keep people from booking and paying for rides from their smartphone? Where getting those levels of attention without so much of the rest DID collapse my revenue making ability. Which has turned critical as have an eviction notice and just days away from being kicked out on the street.

The resistance to truth though. And having to figure out these systems, where posting here helped unravel them. But for a long time didn't understand how, especially with the quiet.

As human advancement is good for us all. And I picked math for a reason! Not an area can lie, or hide, or mislead with claims like mine. So am easily checked!

Wow, just think if had picked some other area. Should just be glad had the math ability and the results were there to find. Though there is a mixed feeling. Just good for anyone to find them really.

Our species advancing is what is important. Greater knowledge helps us all.

Ok and last thing for you if an American press person possibly still in AWE of people I helped bring down, where many are predators and your worship of them will seem like a disease to people in the future, when that comes crashing down and truth stuns you into acceptance?

Just ponder what it means to really seek the truth. For me? Is key to the great adventure which just keeps rolling along.

Web is shredding so much and replacing with better rapidly. Just wish were faster.

Foundations in our new reality

Trying to feel legitimate has been hard for me. So difficult to talk about my daily things with others, and finally focused more on telling here on this blog, as well as some on others. And still is kind of hard, but makes more sense and feels more real to me now.

Like my decision to look for simpler processes with math paid off HUGE, and was so much modular.

Where modular is of course used all over the place, like with cargo ship containers. And also with kitchenware where you can have all these containers nestled within each other, of the same size.

Reached for modular years ago with math, and found out was an underdeveloped area, so got two things as a result: easier and smaller.

Which did NOT go over very well with the math people, and now over 18 years since invented my primary modular approach they will not acknowledge it, nor discoveries made with it. Which is not so atypical.

Like finally realized could look at what is going on with rideshare, have a very verbose post talking meta much where bring up about halfway through near the end.

That helped a lot with perspective as talking about how people take rides. Seems simple enough. Yet consider the battles.

Shifting from there to my own was easier then.

So then was more like, oh, I found more modular with math. Yes, there was modular with math already, but I took to the next level. Which was a key innovation disrupting entire math discipline.

Much easier to process such a sentence for me at least.

Why do not people just accept new when is better? Have thought about much also, and consider, lots of people actually DO, which is what fueled the growth of Uber and also Lyft as two main ones I know. Have actually used Lyft myself.

But yeah, what if taxi companies had simply let people book rides online? And pay for rides with their smartphones? Versus fight Uber?

Is human nature I think when established people see an interloper, crossing into their territory, and get mad, versus, stop, ponder and say--cool innovations!

For me means have global without other as so much other is controlled by the establishment people.

And more and more am like, who cares. I wouldn't, if I had the money thing figured out. Eventually my story goes into the math textbooks and the history books, and those math people like taxi companies simply have to adapt to change.

With simple explanation though, can also ponder: What if such folks won? Well like with Uber and Lyft and companies like them, then you'd simply lose the ability to do things they offer. Am sure taxi companies would be forced EVENTUALLY to allow you to use smartphones for the same things, but history reflects could delay for a long time.

Is weird actually.

With my things was able to casually make math discoveries when I felt like it. The math people still refusing to acknowledge my results are in a doldrums really. But what do they care? Math people still get paid.

Luckily most of the math that science and technology needs is well developed enough. And clearly humanity isn't that excited about what might be missed until the latest and greatest finally gets properly adopted, which will change am sure once people better understand.

May be partly because of how much we have with what already is here though. We have so much brilliant already, thankfully.

So I get lots of chill time for many reasons. Am appreciating it more and more.

Still problem of a paycheck for myself is pushing me creatively. Am looking more at entertainment things and finally focusing my creativity on science fiction.

Where also is really so cool got to experience SO MUCH the global attention without any of so much other as then could carefully figure out what actually goes with it, and what does not. Plenty of times much of the drama felt intensely? Was clearly just ME trying to process and adjust to shift in my reality from MY discoveries.

That is something else. Like so much of who you were gets shattered, and has to be remade, but also is healthy, because is positive change for positive reasons.

So yeah, gets easier to talk as process. And with foundations more firmly set, can also feel better with perspective and a confidence have done things of value for lots of folks, including myself.

Discovery is so much fun. These other things are just part of our human reality and also have learned quite a bit which could help so many people too. Is very cool.

What good are answers

Human beings today have the most advanced technology in the history of our species, like what allows me to communicate with you and people like you all over the planet. In the past MOST humans worked agriculture, in early economies where humans were slowly figuring things out.

Yet agriculture was greatly aided with the arrival of technology with machines which meant a much smaller percentage of people are needed working in fields. And as much as the rise of industrialization brought horrors, for people in factories, it also brought greater wealth for populations, so what happened with arrival of computers?

Unlike before computers as a form of intelligence from the start could be part of employers simply not paying people the actual value of their efforts, which yeah, GREATLY improved the wealth of a small percentage, but has nearly crashed human civilization, more than once now.

Is weird. I use that word a lot I know, but in looking at how easily it was done, so that even now in countries like my own, which is the United States, you can witness puzzled people who do not really know the value of their work. And various systems were very much powerfully at work to kind of program a lack of questioning. And with all that money? Many of the super wealthy weren't that much happier. And have watched some of them work in ways that could destroy their own countries to gain MORE wealth when are already MASSIVELY wealthy, which I call wealth hoarding. Is like they hoard money like other people hoard other things. And can try to gain more even at risk of their own lives. Is weird, yeah.

And oh yeah, there is the dragging with reacting to one of the ways our species can exterminate all life on the planet which is with climate change if get a runaway greenhouse effect.

Where should search on that if do not know of it. Search: runaway greenhouse effect.

I like the article from National Geographic, did get when did that search. And yeah, definitely want a very small chance but reality is we DO NOT KNOW for sure. And what sense risking total extermination of life on planet Earth? There is none. There is no sense to it whatsoever. And again think there are things related to wealth hoarding at work.

Why would MILLIONS of people go along with such things where so much is painful for them? In the US think is a lot about the mass market, and advertising which focuses carefully on groups in a way that leads to more easily convincing people of things. There is almost a worship of money in modern culture which was absent in past American culture. When I checked? Realized wealthy people could easily shift advertising for such, and they could easily control much of mass culture with entertainment where writers often present very ruthless views, as if are common.

That HAS shifted recently as the web is pushing back. And suddenly so much behavior that was presented as ok, is looked at with perspective. My analysis is that the entire American entertainment industry was corrupted with entire story lines at times having no other purpose than to push amoral points of view, or worship of wealth, or of the wealthy who were often presented as if gods on our planet. Definitely, yeah weird when you look at now and see how obvious it was. Well at least it was to me. Would puzzle over it often wondering what was going on.

They were deliberately programming populations now believe. Was very effective as well.

The web has removed much of that power though, thankfully. So am watching attempts at trying to regain control with trying to control the web, which is shrugging that off.

Another reason I was working on entertainment will now admit. Have pressured much of that out of it already, simply with a functional definition. Lots of things presented as entertainment? Were attempts at mind control, which doesn't really work as good, you know?

Was strangely enough not that hard to do. Am puzzling still over how much I can do, where there is a purpose, like improving entertainment globally, where publicly state is what am doing, then get lots of quiet around it. Is weird.

And entertainment is steadily improving as what I see as parasitic, is that the right word? In talking about ruthless control techniques have been talking tools used by people who functionally behave as parasitic humans. They work to absorb more than they give, and seek control in ways that enable that behavior. Ok, so yeah, is parasitic behavior I think, where as such influence is removed our entertainment is improving, which is great!

So we have so many answers with so much science and technology yet seemed to be mysteriously committed to potentially exterminating ourselves. Yeah, is weird.

With answers to lots of things can be depressing am sure. But like is good news in there. Like you probably should be paid more. So check to be sure! Unless you work in the financial industry should add. There? Probably...well will let people figure it out, but am NOT concerned finance people are underpaid.

Our species has advanced so much! And I got to help with my own discovery! So cool! And grateful to be able to help while puzzling over problems in getting that recognized, also means have looked into these other things.

But yeah, maybe should ask more questions, whomever you are. Like long ago, people like us, worked very hard primarily in agriculture and might look at our societies with great puzzlement. With so many freed to do other things, how so much the struggles?

We need to value human effort. Proper pay is your help for civilization. Giving it, and receiving it.

We will get there am sure. With answers people can start doing important things, like asking more, and better questions.

When objective rules

Trying not to use weird so much, so will say is remarkable that years ago when was thinking could maybe apply some problem solving tools to trying to do something of note, wanted something objective.

Was aware that with many things where is just about people's opinions then biases can rule.

But consider, am 18 years after introducing the world's latest major mathematical discipline. There is no concern in my mind will not be accepted eventually as is too useful, but the behavior around it has been much that I feared was possible.

Considering what happened to women has helped recently as so many situations where they were simply forced out of occupations that many thought had too much status, influence and money-making potential, and was relentlessly claimed was...what was claimed?

Reality is, when certain people gain status, influence and power, and also money, they may do all kinds of things to keep those things, and was odd that could break out along gender lines in ways we know now. Keep getting surprised. And the news is coming out so much now, thankfully.

Knew better how much could happen along other specious lines, like with the made-up idea of race, which we now know is a social construct, according to latest science.

Of course for me, trying to absorb being the person through which the ideas would flow to give the world a new major math discipline was hard enough. Took quite a few years just to admit it, even to myself, and even more to talk it freely.

My math discipline actually can encompass the others. Does encompass the others and lets you vastly simplify things. It is so useful would get results that look almost impossibly simple compared to what came before. Is one of the most brilliant accomplishments...I guess. You can do cool things with it.

Means that the suppression systems have just begun to fully understand, no matter what, run up against an absolute. Which is one of the pressures pushing them to crumble. With my things was inevitable, eventually. The web though has enabled so much more as the personal truths of so many are shattering so much wrong, rapidly. Thankfully. Is so weird though. So much I thought was one way, was really another.

My things are still up in the air in many ways though, which is ok. Gaining better perspective as to why? Priceless as the saying goes.

Guess feels like part of a purpose with so much. When trapped in something with so many other people, except I am global. Was not worried about not getting recognition. That's impossible. Was worried what to do with it. Now am getting a better sense.

If humans could stop great advances? We wouldn't have the tools like these computers or the web itself, or any of modern civilization.

Still why do some people try? THAT has been done. Maybe is just part of why stories need villains.

Because the real world provides so many. Is only way even fiction can gain some realism. The real world villains though usually are far nastier than in most fiction people want.

Have always worried what I would be. You want to be a hero watching movies, but with things I have, learn how easily it is to be something else. And wonder how you find solid ground.

Objective rules do not care. Truth does not change. And humanity gets one more story over which people can ponder.

Why really did I choose math? Can tell myself all kinds of things. Objective was better than relying on people's judgement. With objective could study how that could go as wrong and ruthless as possible.

Yet also, was there simply something inside that wanted to know? Or did the truth just want a way into our world? And through me, was the best route.

As kind of an afterword, can I now also finally admit, spent SO many years just asking myself silly questions? Was like, hey you might be some kind of big deal, so maybe you KNOW things, you know?

And am talking to myself. Was so very odd.

Human equality reality

Predictive certainty to me is a better way to look at science and has relevance to most folks with electricity who use it when flipping a light switch. And usually the light comes on, predictably, and if it does not, you have mitigations. Like maybe the light source needs replacing. There may be a wiring problem and an electrician, who is an electrical expert, can fix. Or maybe the power is out, and you have to wait for the power company people to fix that.

And all of that explains science. At the edges of science we lose predictive ability, and scientists work to expand zones of predictive certainty.

So yeah, you do science every time you flip a light switch. Scientists find more science.

And the science of genetics has revealed very powerful things about us humans.

Like we're more closely genetically related out of Africa, as science figured out our species emerged from Africa with a relatively small number of individuals.

And genetics and other science like neuroscience has revealed that our species values its intelligence, with our bodies exerting a tremendous amount of effort to have as much as possible. And reality is human beings tend to be smarter than may realize as we endlessly compete and compare with each other.

And there is no differentiation along special lines in intellectual ability from what is healthy in humans. Some humans do tend to be smarter by various measures, though is questionable how best to measure intelligence. But unfortunately genetic abnormalities or environmental deficiency or hostility can impact negatively.

Yet around the globe can look at human beings apparently split with regard to success in ways that seem to indicate things different about human ability than science reveals. So there is some other force at work as then cannot be just about ability.

Has been known that certain cultures deliberately split various groups out any number of ways, but like in my country the United States that is supposedly all over. My country is supposed to be a land where merit rules. And yet we have some of the worst disparities, along specious lines.

My analysis is that a very loose system which turns into powerful suppression is about group behavior where seemingly minor opinions within a group turn into very hostile attitudes at a macro level. Fix is, when you sense your group is talking in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, ask questions. And that's it.

It is very simple in lots of ways. And weirdly enough means you can poll people who speak as individuals, and everything seems ok. But with their friends? Different story.

And that's it.

Of course it can be important to accept the scientific evidence of human equality. To me is one of the best things to come out of science.


James Harris

Focus on suppression

Am starting up problem solving with the blog again. Noting finally that for some time have been studying things which to me are clearly designed to fight against our basic human equality. Science thankfully has revealed no human differentiation in key areas in terms of intellectual ability.

That broader view has me re-analyzing certain things. In past focused on possibility of suppression of my ideas directed deliberately at me, and could find no evidence. Which doesn't mean isn't happening but my analysis techniques did not work to detect any. Now am shifting to considering a broader pattern possible.

What we see around the globe with lots of history reflects a peculiar dominance, which goes against what we now know to be true. That requires a force to have made it happen. Thought I understood global history better, but now am considering that I did not.

As much as would like to think that is about past, have ran into an intriguing wall with my own things, which this post will consider again in a different way.

So figured out a new way to solve an old problem back in 1996, where I focused on a modular approach, which keeps coming up consistently as a theme. Advances require some powerful abstraction and modular in so many places is mine, but why new in those areas? Modular has been around for quite some time. And yes, modular as in modules which for many is about design. In math found I could solve HUGE problems by breaking them down into simpler modules. With ideas so simple for decades found it difficult to accept and my paper back in 1996 was rejected by an editor for a major math journal, as too simple.

How could be new? That has been something have pondered for over two decades now.

Ok. Maybe some mistake, right? But I came up with an entire modular system December 1999 for mathematics, where introduced such a complete system with modular algebra, is a new mathematical discipline. And have made major discoveries with it since then. Got a paper published in 2004 when with my system I discovered current mathematicians in number theory, generally called number theorists had a hole in their processes which could allow for mathematical arguments that only looked correct by those accepted rules which were false.

Figured they'd fix the rules, right? Nope. They STILL have those rules far as I know to this day.

Hard to believe that paper publication drama could have been missed. And the math was easy, by typical math people standards.

With a dramatic story as well. That story is SO wild. Paper is still available too. So am thinking, these academics in the math field, do know. Course, how do you prove they do generally?

Let's consider if they do.Then you'd have these academics at prestigious institutions all over the world who know that with ONE flaw, nothing they do will escape a historical asterisk. Yet they continue, why? What do they think they know that would justify such a loss to themselves?

Then again, even if somehow they missed something so dramatic? Still a HUGE knock on their position in history, in time.

The math problem I found is not my creation. It is simply a flaw. Its existence is not going anywhere.

Never before from the history books of which I know has a major human advance on this scale been held up in this way. But then again I did just keep working at things, despite earlier pressures. To me? Made it easier to not get properly acknowledged earlier.

So not exactly held up then. I worked on it. Is so weird. Like having this incredible wonder where you're wandering through advanced halls which should be teeming with people, all by yourself.

Actually, kind of liked it will admit.

Let me work at my own pace with the mathematics for over 18 years. Trotting out major discoveries here and there, and wondering about my world.

The math gives me an absolute foundation--can't be faked. Math works or does not. Like 2+2=4.

So story there is useful reference point as well. And not just any person is going to have major discovery at THAT level. Why I remain so skeptical. Do not feel like imagine such a person would be. But guess that is classic.

Originally was very narrowly focused on the academics themselves, and noted a big problem is that they police themselves. But yeah, I found a problem that will NOT go away. There is no way will not emerge FULL FORCE, eventually. These academics, knowingly or unknowingly, are sacrificing themselves then. That is more indication of something bigger, if they DO know.

Branched out from mathematics. Defined science itself functionally which is another advance, where functional approach is more accessible with my functional definition of entertainment. And also have less formally talked money, and authority among other things.

These things were not simply ignored: they were processed. Am the guy who finally stopped to say, hey, gotta understand the quiet around ME as discovered that working regular jobs, which had done as supported my research became out of reach as do have some kind of...well-known aspect to me.

And why wouldn't I? Been on the web for over two decades, and have produced ideas that grab attention, while also doing my best to help. More and more have bumped into a system of suppression which to me looks like is just...is just weird. Some of the things these people are doing? Am like, but why bother?

The suppression though apparently is an OLD technique. Has been used not just against Black folks, like myself where yeah maybe that's it. But most crushingly? Against women.

Am studying with this problem solving post. As finally take a closer look at the mechanisms of the suppression as consider, how is it possible? Why is it so effective? What can be done to get past it?

Am studying the wall.


James Harris

So what solution?

The pushback against science that made news around climate change seemed bigger to me. And when you consider that science has revealed that all humans ARE created equal, can make more sense.

So we get born with huge intellectual gifts though some are challenged from genetic abnormalities, but most are not. And the vast usage of all that mind power? Is in competition with each other, but still that should not split out along lines science has revealed do not matter.

Which means that we should have intellectual accomplishments reflecting that reality, and as we can see weird in too many areas, we do not. But with the knowledge of equality, from science, we can look into the why.

In my situation yes, have seen so much just willfully ignored. And trace out a system that got away with that kind of behavior for a long, long time.

But what solution?

The people who did it actually rule the world in many ways.

They have wealth and political power in many cases though often simply rely on political influence. And they are ruthless in doing what it takes to keep.

And they could not care less that science lets us know they're deliberately blocking out others. And in some situations am looking at rather sophisticated psychological warfare unleashed on populations. It's only job to limit which people try to compete in what areas, oh and also to try and convince them to accept whatever pay they receive, even when is very much less than the value of their work.

The sheer scale of it has puzzled me much. And have spent time just checking to be sure. Where also struggle with the motivations. What is the point really? Dominating the world in the way they do, yes can see why might want to some extent. But then again, am like, so? Where do they think that leads? To what full purpose? So I struggle understanding which makes it difficult to fully handle it.

Is a sophisticated system, and is VAST. Have been tracing it out, and um, not sure what to do. Am stuck! Still, thankfully they made the mistake of applying so many of their tools against me. Though not sure was deliberate. Many of these things are just unleashed on populations and am a Black guy so grew up in a targeted one.

Regardless am glad, as meant I could learn them. So curious some of them are--these techniques to try to rule a world.

Sophisticated techniques yes, and in some cases rather old, but also being used stupidly now too. They keep nearly toppling the planetary economy! Is clear the people using these things? Were taught them. The techniques are solid enough, but our world moves so fast now; they don't have time often to consult whatever textbooks or whatever they're using. Am looking at some techniques that go back to Roman Empire, which actually still work rather well. Other things do seem newer.

Ancient Romans wouldn't have respected them though. Like they spend HUGE amounts of their expertise just on not paying people properly. Deliberate underpay is one of their most effective social techniques. Is one of the things that clued me in on them in a big way. They are really into it. Fight for it tooth and nail as the saying goes.

Yeah and had all THAT before, when was looking into my own specific case. My previous analysis could not detect things specific to me. That is, could not find evidence of a conspiracy focused on myself.

Have broadened my outlook. Maybe that is it. The entire system in place just has me under it by default which I did not realize before. So it has no reason, which is probably good, to have a specific conspiracy against me.

Is interesting. Well, need to figure out how to get out from under these things.

So the pressure is on, as I work to figure out how to break this system. Well at least enough to make a living. Is not like I need much either.


James Harris

Static nature and truth

There are those words that can take on different meanings with technology, and for many static became associated with noise associated with certain systems. Where the point in that context was the randomness of those systems was unchanging. Static means, not changing. But it has the added meaning in our times of being noisy to many.

For me the word then has a fascinating applicability to something that IS important in that truth is important as to how it does not change. Like if a person robs a bank. Either that person did or did not rob the bank. If that person did rob the bank--that truth does not change.

Where picked a criminal example deliberately. As one philosophical problem in the US can be where people do not believe there is such a thing as truth. They will actually tell you that everything is shades of grey, but if that person goes and robs a bank, do you think that may work at all in defense?

Our personal perception can be one thing, but how our fellow human beings react to us, can be another.

In questions of truth, the unchanging quality of truth is extremely useful in my opinion. Which helps in determining whether you are witnessing a truth, or an opinion.

In my opinion, many people may be one thing, but I can learn that opinion is wrong, and change it.

But in truth, we are all human beings, which is a question for science, which has determined that with extraordinary certainty, which arrived with the science of genetics.

Our opinions in that regard though can affect human behavior, while the truth can effect better behavior, as the truth can lead to better interactions with our fellow human beings.

Those two words are so similar, and wonder would it make a difference to say, can effect human behavior? Yup. It FEELS different which is an opinion, as write here now. But is it a truth?

Static actually has fascinating properties in the context of physics, which I know as have a degree in that area and remember the training. Was an odd thing for me, which is emotion on which I reflect here, as my view of static was shifted. And is interesting to understand those properties, which can take over a word, for many.

Does it even feel right to say truth has a static nature? Or go against the grain?

Questions can open doors to perception am sure. So much about what we believe, how we believe, and from where our belief arrives.

The truth does not care. Like if you rob that bank and wish your fellow humans to dismiss what you call the noise of testimony against you, which you might claim as just so much static. The judge may look at you wondering, what planet you think you're on.

And render judgement which will change your life, whether you think is shades of grey or not.

With philosophical discussions maybe, later in your prison cell, where will the truth lie?

That is so harsh as an ending. It is interesting though that static shifted in our times probably because with radio static it was just this noise. And radio was a big deal. Oh and static on television too, which probably is where most get that sense of it being about noise.

There also is a truth: the reality of how many people experience a word in our times, for which have adjusted.

My methods with moods and science

Really feel good about locking certain things down, where for me has been life changing, and worth it to talk out how that works. One of the most profound hypotheses have had, was that authority relative to one entity is when some other entity has information needed. Which was just stunning for me, as realized for a LONG time had been seeking approval from some authority with my own ideas.

And relying on that word hypothesis, as decided to explain things a bit differently, like when I suggested over two years ago that entertainment was a way to safely control mood? Was a hypothesis.

With THAT could start looking at myself and others to determine if fit with it, or if needed to be adjusted or dismissed based on real world evidence.

Importantly considering whether or not people use entertainment to safely control mood, could lead to what I like to call predictive certainty, like how you have a good idea when you flip a light switch, whether it will come on or not. And if it doesn't, can probably figure out why.

So yeah, was working on a science of entertainment, and no, when I put ideas like that out, am not certain at THAT point, but am checking relying on a simple meta process:

Introduce a better idea, and expect people to choose better.

That thing is rather cool, as it has multiple meanings. Will pick one and note that with entertainment hypothesis, figured that people, including myself, could choose better with their entertainment! And yeah, have with mine, which was so epic. For the first time in my life, felt a great sense of control, when could pick better for my moods versus do the equivalent of channel surfing, which had learned before which was a LOT more hit or miss. Often? Mostly miss.

Now can often figure out my mood and go get the entertainment I want, like when mood is for a space epic. Yeah wanting to escape into the depths of deep space? Lots of emotions can fuel that mood. But also can realize not enough at quality I like, and wish for more. (More great space epics please, entertainment industry.)

Therefore, my secondary hypothesis was that pickier people would start pushing entertainment industry, and that earlier established processes might resist! Which would lead to collapse of revenue in those areas, EXCEPT for those who delivered. Quality entertainment would still work, of course. Give people what they want and why wouldn't they want to get it?

And with movies is just one area, but a highly visible one.

Which steps through my meta process, yet again, where this time have used a more traditional word, noting that ideas presented are often hypotheses and the presentation itself is part of the process, where then I can just check what happens, in the real world.

And better is better. I like using phrases that are tautologies. So yeah, is better IF the hypothesis is correct to know what you're doing in selecting entertainment, and as YOU choose better, and people around you choose better, you not only find greater sense of fulfillment from that entertainment, you pressure entertainment industry, to DO better.

Which I think is great. And that completes this discussion of my meta process, how what I do is a science, includes some of predictive certainty, but focuses more on the benefits of better.


James Harris

When other people are required

There are three areas where I can focus simply, to talk some of the problems I need to solve, where yeah, other people are required for certain things to happen. Like I note I found some math, and yes, you can search to find it with: some math

Still would need some mathematical experts for things to MOVE. Like imagine a reporter wanted to do a story. There's no story there. Just some guy noting he found some math. BUT a couple of mathematicians chime in? How about two or three leading mathematicians? THEN the reporter would have a story, and it'd be a giant one.

And I made up my own functional definition of science. I claim it can explain science, tell you when someone is doing science or not without you needing expertise, and...um, so what? Just me talking. But get a couple of scientists? See? Have a consortium of scientists excitedly talking about this thing, and yup, you have a news story that could lead on papers around the globe.

So why won't they? Who cares. Main thing is I've went down that road somewhat and found doors closed. But I say, who needs those people? Um, ok if I want anything to MOVE with those prior two things, I do. But what if I can just move on?

So we reach entertainment and something fascinating happens, I do NOT need experts.

One of my recent posts sets forth a science of entertainment, which may seem esoteric. If you want an example and are sci-fi motivated you can read my analysis of the BattleStar Galactica reboot to see some early work before I even decided really was a science. Or read me discussing what I call the mood line.

My functional definition of entertainment has the unique ability of helping you understand what entertains you and others, better.

It also lets me deconstruct entertainment including current entertainment which I do NOT do publicly in general, as it can ruin it for some people. Like I watch a movie or a television show I'm often analyzing why it is entertaining. I can even see mistakes as they happen that mess up the mood line. And can see areas of improvement, on the fly.

But like do you REALLY want to know why you're so fascinated by zombies (if you are)? Or why people in capes are interesting? Or how that drama really pulls those emotions from you? I do. Most don't I'm sure.

Good news is that understanding the 'why' of entertainment doesn't mess things up, as it just focuses on YOUR mood, if I'm correct!

But unlike with my work in mathematics or my functional ideas about science, with entertainment I simply need YOU.

I prefer to be entertained anyway. And if my ideas are correct?

The entire world can be better entertained. I find the very idea exciting. Sure world can use math things and science is kind of important but those things take time and in the meantime, I like to have fun. And if I can help a world, why not?

And been working on it for a little while now. Have you noticed the difference yet?

Yeah, sounds kind of, um wacky. Sometimes feel kind of pulled along by my ideas. As yeah, if I can define science which is a big one, then why can't I define a science of entertainment? It's like it seems straightforward then I think implications if correct, then kind of tell myself to stop thinking of such things to control the shaking, or the nausea. I like the shaking better than the nausea.

But yeah can't get ANYWHERE with those other things unless certain experts will support my ideas. And I have some big things that are over a decade old. One is over twenty. Other thing with support from experts is sharing the sense of responsibility. Like hey, not just me with these things. Got other people on the hook too!

The web supports me NOW though, but we're still in transition. In time web authority will be enough.

It is so new but is actually better support for a lot of reasons.

However, I can shift easily enough. And with a global reach? Yeah, I can impact the world of entertainment and it IS fun, and it IS a service, to the globe.

Yeah still sounds wacky. Not feeling nausea though which is good.

Well those are things I tell myself. What would YOU do with global reach?

Besides gives me back a sense of opportunity. Waiting on other people is a pain. And understanding entertainment is win-win. Will admit enjoy entertainment much more now. Even though I tend to analyze much. But that's just part of who I am.

What is science of entertainment

Being a free thinker I do NOT mind figuring out things on my own, if I can simplify and get something functional. And a few times have had to come up with functional definitions when dictionary ones were not good enough for me to figure something out. And is pertinent to mention too as I explore the concept of the science of entertainment.

Am using MY definitions want to emphasize, so doing a lot to be sure that is clear. Am continuing with things I made up.

science (noun): the art of prediction using methodologies and tools to expand zones of certainty by discovery of a predictive framework.

entertainment (noun): any socially accepted activity chosen in order to alter mood in a desired way which is unlikely to bring harm in any way.

Where am putting them together for once. I call those functional definitions, which makes them remarkably short for what I claim they can do. Like the first? Can encompass ANY scientific discipline known or yet to be known. So let's make up one.

Time to ponder as I like giving myself these challenges to figure something out as I type up a post. Feel confident. Besides if I fail you just won't see it.

So at first blush, a science of entertainment should involve discovery of a framework of tools and methodologies to expand zones of predictive certainty in producing a desired mood for a human being or groups of humans with a socially accepted activity, unlikely to bring harm in any way.

The art of it is in choices made in building that framework.

Isn't creativity something? Fascinates me how far I can go with things I made up.

What makes it science then is the zone of predictive certainty which I think for many is way far from entertainment, as how can you be certain, say that something is funny? Turns out with the science done correctly, you can, maybe. Just because I can put up what a science of entertainment would do, doesn't mean it can exist!

The hypothesis aspect of science is well-known, and by my system is a prediction, testable by the predictive framework. That is, you can make a hypothesis and test it by experiment.

For instance, I will admit now, as have been evaluating for over a year that I have checked and continue to check things accepted as entertainment for their safety level. And compare with near things if can find which are NOT considered entertaining.

Which can explain how a celebrity, who is an entertainer and I think most are, can seem to do ok with one thing, and crash and burn with another as a public may laugh off one thing as safe, so harmless and see something else as not, though both may look very similar which I find fascinating.

Perceptions there can vary, so there can be effort in determining if a person sees something as safe or not. One person may see something as perfectly safe that another finds not. Which can cause differential assessment across groups as well.

And that's enough for a post I want to be short. And it has been heavily edited, which is ok. I DID just start typing pulling from my two definitions. And luckily can edit as consider over time and ponder the usefulness as well--what can I DO with it?

One desired thing? Figure out rapidly any entertainment system on the planet, as to efficacy, likely duration, and methodology as to why people find it entertaining. And don't worry, I work to keep musings about current entertainment to myself. And carefully move as to show appropriate concern for the mystery, of course.

Because with me? Mystery matters.

Actually building out a science is where things get interesting. At least can now see how two of my functional definitions can come together.

And I do not consider this post to be a brainstorming post, which is kind of a note to myself.
