Maybe the Question Is...

 

Maybe the question is, what would have happened if I had called the police on the people who were gesturing at me at H-E-B?  Would they have all fessed up and said, "yes, we were actually doing those gestures, and it was to signal him"?  Maybe the comment is, *all* of those gesturers were bad.  Maybe the comment is, they're trying to "oust" me from my blog.  They want me offline and back in jail.  FYI, I am innocent.  A realization I had recently:  I haven't looked at the photos of my parents again because I don't want to, even though they're all in my Outlook email, but I think one of the photos showed my father's torso, supposedly scarred and stitched up, but I don't think he had a belly button in the photo.  I'm not sure.  I'm not going to look again.  But I'm basically positive that the photos were PhotoShopped...I didn't have a knife in my hand when the fight took place, I dropped the knife and punched them fairly gently.  No stabbing whatsoever, they're lying and using AI to manipulate the evidence illegally.


Anyway, yeah, I think the "normal" gestures that seem "slightly out of place" are the good ones.  I guess I didn't get it from an empathy perspective...all of the bizarre gesturers are prepared to lie to the police.  It could be that the police had a cover for showing up, and were showing up just to signal me that they're on the case and paying attention.  I didn't call the police about the suspicious guy standing near the neighbor's fence last night, but I did notify staff at Monarch, and they went out with me and looked at the guy, and as we were talking about him, he seemed to get worried and walked away.  So I defended the neighbors, he might have been planning some sort of burglary or something.  It was at the corner of Sul Ross and Garrott, the property on the corner, the one that's facing the dumpster area on the Monarch property.


So I think it's good news.  The empathy thing is, the people doing those gestures understand it's odd, and are prepared to say something and "suddenly act super normal" if I call the police.  Maybe that was the real bait...they wanted me to call the police and complain, and try to *really put some spirit* into the persuasive debate or whatever, and then be astonished when the police TDO'd me.  They would want me to maybe stay in treatment, but lose internet access.

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 ...
