More Mentalizing About the H-E-B Gestures

 

I think something good might actually happen by July 13.  I think the UPS guy was not gaslighting me.  I think the people who have been signaling me have been *asked to do it as a favor* by an organization that is allowed to do that.  It might be a defense contractor.  I found out that the NSA has a facility in San Antonio, Texas.  So maybe I'll get some good news by July 13.


When I get on disability, I think I was told I'll start out getting some back pay.  I'll need to get my net worth under $2000, so as I told the guy on the phone and he said it was a good idea, I could go get a used car.  I would check it with a mechanic before purchase to make sure it wouldn't break down once I started driving it.


I'm not sure if I would try to get a job before or after I got the case dismissed with a lawyer.  I think I might try to get the case dismissed first, but I'm not sure.  The risk is, if I get a job, and then lose the job, like I did at Martin, I wouldn't be able to go back on disability.  Maybe that doesn't make sense though...why would getting the case dismissed first make a difference?  I don't know.


I've been thinking hard about my career.  If I go for a management track position, I think I'll be very ready with good, smart ideas that I've generated about how to be competitive at customer service and management, i.e., how to make sure I would do a really good job.  Maybe if something happens by July 13, I'll be able to pursue a career in research, if I get credit for my ideas that I had that I published.

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 ...
