It is kind of hard to take someone seriously who is so obviously dripping with bitterness, ending their blog post with "Maybe some adventurous person outside the degenerate welfare-queen anglosphere will figure it out"

  it's hard to stay positive when people used 'credential-based' reasoning to disregard your questioning/criticism; this is very standard in academia. and it's not like you can say "let's see who does better in the real products marketplace" with many of these research things (over 20 years before viable commercialization, if ever).

Doesn't change the fact that a weird rant full of bitter ad hominems is almost certainly going to be ignored as being a crazy person wanting some sort of revenge.

This is pretty kooky and bitter, probably not worth giving it much thought. Also he seems, and admits, that he is even less knowledgeable on the field than the people whose contrarianism he apparently takes a t face value.
