Default Mega Foundation, change in plans

My original plan was to work out some great math results on-line

That faith in the broad populace was mislaid, and in fact, mostly I
got insults, and lies.

My paper Advanced Polynomial Factorization is being published by the
Mega Foundation, a society of the highest I.Q.'s in the country.


Are you going to be nice enough to tell us *where* in that mess you plan
to post your work or are you gone forever? I'm interested in following
your adventures.

See the Table of Contents in the URL mentioned in William Rex Marshall's
post earlier in this thread.

If you really want to read James' work I think you would need to pay $25 and
subscribe. I can't imagine that many people on sci.math will do that.

Mega Foundation (correct me if I am wrong) was started by Chris Langan. To
read some of his stuff go to crank.net:
http://www.crank.net/proof.html
and follow the "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe" link.


According to their "History" page at:
http://www.megafoundation.org/History.html

"The Mega Foundation was conceptualized and created in the summer of 1999
by clinical neuropsychologist Gina LoSasso and blue-collar cosmologist
Christopher Langan as a hopeful haven for the severely-gifted."


A Google search for Gina LoSasso reveals her to be a "Holistic Cyber
Therapist," as defined by her website at: http://www.ctmu.org/CyberTherapy

"Holistic Cyber Therapy works toward the achievement of health and harmony
of the Body, Mind and Spirit through Multiplex Unity, a productive
connectivity of the individual extending into both the physical and
metaphysical realms."

Hoo, boy. Sounds to me like a real match made in Bellevue. James finally
may have found His Kind of People. I suspect the Mega Foundation is
some sort of Crackpot Sanctuary, but if they can keep James busy and
out of here, then more power to them!

I find their public paper

http://www.ultrahiq.org/Mega/WhyMega.htm

to be an interesting commentary on what they can do for mathematics
publishing. It's also interesting that looking at the site in Mozilla
apparently doesn't work as they intended, considering the line I see
about a redirect when not logged in.

Ye laughing-stock, ye thing of shame! Think you that we Mega Societans
share the limits of your puny lobes, the petty arithmetics of your
contemptible child minds? We, who teach string theory to our hamsters?
We, whose slippers translate Finnegans Wake into ancient Greek?

My original plan was to work out some great math results on-line
trusting that when I found that great math, someone in the world would
recognize it.

That faith in the broad populace was mislaid, and in fact, mostly I
got insults, and lies.

My paper Advanced Polynomial Factorization is being published by the
Mega Foundation, a society of the highest I.Q.'s in the country.

I now realize that I was foolishly idealistic with my vision of a
global brain, where good ideas could face acceptance out there. The
reality is that most of you depend on others to digest ideas for you,
and let you know what's important.

You depend on others to make decisions for you, so my providing you
with information on countries like Iraq, or the why behind top level
decision of this country, were useless.

It doesn't matter for you. You're used to not having control.

So when it came to my own work, there was nothing out there either.

The reality is that you have to get contacts, real contacts, with
people who can be heard, as if you're talking out here on Usenet, no
one important is listening.

I've also deleted my website AmateurMath, as it wasn't working out
either.

Currently my proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, my prime counting
function, and my proof of a flaw in taught mathematics are with me,
and I will use the regular channels to get proper recognition.

For me, the Internet and Usenet were failures for recognition, but
quite useful for the brainstorming process.

Thanks to those who participated, even some of you rude and obnoxious
people.

The only ones who really bothered me were the incessant liars.

Now I'll use other means to get things done. This experiment is over.


James Harris


I'm really sorry that you have fallen so deep. The MegaFoundation is not
what you want. The sci.math is much better. Here you get welldefined critics
of your work. The MegaFoundation has nobody that can give you that. They
just suck money from their "believers".
