My Currency Ideas Might Be Salvageable

 

I think the woman at the grocery store who hinted, "f--- ux", was gaslighting me.  Nevertheless, I'm glad I got the idea of working on currency.  I took another look at my theory about currencies in developing or disadvantaged countries.  I think my idea might actually work!  The key issue--without revealing too much about the idea--is that central government banks in a country, say Vietnam, cannot necessarily force a price to be a particular price, just because the government banks offer that as the exchange rate.  Other entities who own the currency can charge different rates, and the government banks might have to compete.  I found a way to not have to worry about that objection too much.  My ideas might be good.  They might not be practical though.  The metaphor is, non-bank-exchanged currency in the "regular market" is like used books sold on Amazon.com.  You have to accept that the currency might be bought and sold for cheaper prices than the government banks would want.  The good news, though, is that a lot of non-bank entities *might not be willing* to trade currency for currency.  For another thing, a central government bank could probably *regulate* currency exchanges, at least the currency exchanges that take place in that country.  Vietnam could start its own organization that would be like the USA SEC.


Anyway, I'm done writing about that for now.  I'm going to try to use the internet less in the coming days.  I may post a lot less too.  Here's my list of 4 research-related disclosures after my vow is no longer active, assuming that day comes:


 So, I reviewed my ideas regarding currencies in other countries.  It turns out that my ideas were not that great.  My other economics ideas are very good though.  Here is the revised list of things I would publish once I got credit for past work:



1.  Israeli-Palestinian aid theorem--related to Pareto optimality.

2.  New equilibrium concept--a huge new idea in economics that might help developing economies and many other organizations and people as well.

3.  Some brief insights related to P vs. NP and quantum computing.

4.  Currency ideas--how to help developing countries strengthen their respective national currencies

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 ...
