Disclosing a Little Bit About My New Plans

 

I think my economics idea that made me think I should move to Florida was not a good argument for living in Florida...I sort of forgot what I said but I might have misinterpreted how economics does or doesn't apply to social situations.  I will probably want to settle somewhere like Pennsylvania.  It's sufficiently politically aligned with me, it has an Ivy League school there which is a good influence, and it is Southern enough, compared to other states in New England, that the weather probably wouldn't be too cold.  I do want to leave Virginia for good.  Texas isn't that bad, but I don't think it's the right place for me.  Just using simple political thinking is good enough to figure it out.  I don't need to live somewhere where everyone is an atheist like me necessarily, though.


I am also thinking about maybe going to graduate school in math instead of economics.  I might get bored with economics.  Yes, I want to do mathematics research that matters...and it is *hard* to find subjects in math that matter...but I think that is a worthwhile thing for me to do.  I feel that I have "an addiction to original thinking," in the sense that I'm obsessed with the idea that John Nash in the movie "A Beautiful Mind" has, which is, that he wants to have "an original idea."  I always want to be creative and devise new ideas.  I don't have a high enough "elo" to make it in fiction, I don't think.  My brain-stature is high enough in math that I could make it, I think.  I would need to study harder for the subject test GREs and take them again.  I would apply to lots of different schools--probably not the top ones--and try to get in.  This would be, if I got lots of money, say from a lawsuit against the state of Virginia (remember that Abigail Spanberger made her choice not to answer me!) that could get me millions of dollars.


I think that is actually the best thing I can do.  I can "give in" a little bit to my "originality addiction," but I probably shouldn't pivot to economics completely.  I might do some research that is relevant to economics someday.  The challenge is, go to graduate school, and get better at identifying "big new ideas" that I could develop.  Maybe I could come up with some good research ideas that I could use to help Africa.  Or, I could do other kinds of research, if that's all I can do, that would help the world in some other way.


I was thinking earlier today that I should drop everything related to STEM and go into music.  I could probably start a pretty good band.  The thing is, it would just be for "something to do" if I were doing that.  I think, if I am not basically slaughtered by the legal system and the horrible things that have been happening to me, I'm likely to get arrests made on my behalf, and, I'm likely to be able to recover damages from a lawsuit.  This crazy thing has wasted years of my life and all but deleted my career.  I should have recovered peacefully and happily in Virginia, and then gotten a job and carried on from there...the bad guys in Virginia obliterated that possibility, and I predict, I will win a big lawsuit based on that and Virginia constituents and taxpayers will not be too happy.


So that's my latest idea...try to go back to graduate school in math again.  Even if none of my ideas that I've ever have were correct, except maybe for Godel's Lost Letter, I think I could probably devise *some* good ideas.


I'm not going to work on studying for the GREs or anything else while I'm here at Monarch.  At the same time, I *might* try to generate some good math research ideas.  I think my idea about the alternate way to write a utility bundle preference situation was actually an excellent and very brilliant economics idea, if I do say so myself.  Probably, I could publish that as a math paper in some way.  There's probably some journal in particular that looks for articles like that from math Ph.D.'s.


So anyway, don't be surprised if I try to post some big new ideas about math in the next few days or weeks.  If I have enough money and can't get into grad school for math, I'll likely start a band!

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 ...
