I am doing pretty well today.  I haven't gone outside for any walks.  I am looking forward to July 30, which is when I think this nightmare will end.  I have done some high-pressure thinking, and now I feel like taking it down a notch or two.


What is there that I can blog about?  I don't have many activities right now.  I think I am right to reject the idea of doing more economics reading.  I have plenty of economics that is out there, and if I do more reading, I'll be sure to have more ideas, and I don't really want to get into that kind of thing right now.  I have lots of blog-published econ out there, and I haven't received any comments on it.


Am I paranoid right now?  I don't think so.  I think my understanding of reality is correct.  The things I care to mention include:  I think I'm being signaled in stores and outside when I go out for walks, I'm being careful with my behavior, I'm thinking that something good will happen on or about July 30, I'm nervous about the court case and baffled at why it hasn't been stopped, I'm wondering why asserting my rights does nothing, and I'm eating more food.


Samantha, my care navigator, has been criticizing me for not eating enough and walking a lot.  It shouldn't damage me that much...if I gain say 3 pounds, I'll just lose it again by increasing my walking.  I wonder if that's related to the police signal, "MEC" i.e., make eye contact, which could mean "major eating concern."  Supposedly Nurse Nancy is in on it too.  I'm was only about 159, that's about 5 or 6 pounds below being overweight.  I'm not super skinny, I'm eating enough, and all I'm doing for exercise is walking...no lifting and no running.  I wonder if this is some sort of "don't get hot except in the temperature sense" thing...Samantha says she has been trying to get someone to come to my room to fix the air conditioning, but somehow it isn't getting done.  I wouldn't be totally surprised if Samantha is doing a favor for my evil parents.  Maybe she's innocent and good though.  In general, I won't let it bother me.


I am still contemplating some of the things from the store.  I wonder, as I try to be manipulative with my song title things, are my manipulations predictable?  I'm not a professional or well-educated "manipulation science" person at all.  Maybe I'm more predictable than I think, and my approximate reaction was predicted.  Anyway, it's OK.  I might have a point...maybe the situation was created specifically to elicit a certain reaction from me, which is one that is desired by someone facing political pressure within some government organization.  I don't know.  Maybe that's not true at all.  I have no visibility on current political battles within government.  Whatever.  I trust that I will be fine by the end of July.  The code was H-O-L-A.  The H means Help and the O means On.  Help On Laburnum Anniversary.  Maybe the "help" will be something big that happens other than an arrest.

Math Update: My P != NP Proof Might Be Correct!!!!! -- (update, no it's not, see the note at the beginning and the updates near the bottom)

EDIT:  No, this proof is not correct.  See the updates at the bottom for details on why (based on Dr. Zelinsky's comment).  Fortunately, my GLL proof and MSR proofs still appear to be correct. It could be that Joshua Zelinsky's comment actually helps me to complete the proof. The GLL proof appears to be correct, AFAIK. The thing is, the fact that we can prove "PA is consistent --> P != NP" within PA and the fact that we can prove "PA is consistent" as a theorem of ZFC just shows that P != NP is a theorem of PA.  That isn't a contradiction, it's just another step in the proof. I think the striking idea is, P != NP is a theorem of PA, but not of ZFC.  That is what I worked to prove.  AFAIK it is possible for a proposition to be a theorem of PA but not of ZFC.  In particular, PA can be proved consistent from ZFC, so we would think it s possible and even likely that there are some non-theorems of ZFC that are theorems of PA. So this is great!  It l...

Hello, Texas - A Quick Monopoly Lesson

  So today, I thought I saw some people running around blurting code gestures at me.  One of the codes seemed to say, "Riot for a[buse] v[ictim] time -M".  Oh, M?  M as in Monolith, or M as in Monopoly fan who doesn't get it? Here, Houstonian code-talkers...let me teach you how to play Monopoly, since you are so hungry for free knowledge:  - Make deals with other players that benefit you.  - Offer deals to difficult players that are somewhat beneficial to them, knowing that they might reject.  - Watch which deals other players reject, and identify what *deal types* they are not likely to accept from you or anyone else.  - Be very very careful about your own deals--and behavior--lest you get figured out by your opponents and backed into a corner, with good, beneficial deals being made without you by cunning adversaries who know your every move. There's a poker lesson in there, too, but I don't want to get too educational right now.

Flash Non-Fiction: James Bond and Masculinity

  This was going to be a longer essay, but I decided to just blurt out my point rather than trying to write well. Basically, I think James Bond movies are good, and the songs are high-quality too, but it sends semi-dangerous messages to men in particular about what it means to be a man.  The Bond character is intransigent, aggressive, violent, and absolutely sure of himself in all cases.  He is portrayed as a big winner--able to date and have sex with beautiful women, almost impossible to kill, and lethal and elite at both armed and unarmed combat. I'm concerned that some men, including my estranged father ASW, have had their sense of morality warped by Bond movies.  They think that this dramatically presented way to be masculine is the only way.  I think that's unhealthy, and when people get the not-so-original idea to "try to be more Bond-like" in their personal lives, that leads to catastrophic conflicts with and major potential for deep pain for people that ...
