I am the guy. And this is not a joke. And the fact that I am making fun of academia is not co-incidental. The point is that I am using academia's own insights to bridge a major gap. Academia (say Theoretical Computer Scientists) don't take their next-door neighbors (the Linguists) seriously. This is why they can never invent what they want: the mind. If they ever collaborated, the singularity would be long behind us.
- theoh 12y agoPlease don't take this the wrong way, but you are coming across as a bit of a crank. Exaggerating the significance of your work is a marker for crankiness, second only to incomprehensibility.
- petar 12y agoI apologize, if it's a little over the top. But being over the top is the only way to get people to really think: out of anger to prove you wrong. It's just true. But I have no intention to offend anyone.

- msutherl 12y agoI, for one, maintain that those we call "cranks" serve a vital role.
- throwwit 12y agoI'd say it's a clever approach... but it has scaling/UI issues. Nice to see some research dealing with the forest instead of the trees!

- smutticus 12y agoIt looks curious. Perhaps if you published a longish commented program in Escher it would become more clear to me. Now it simply appears as a curiosity.
