To "truthmost"

Submitted by Fred Bortz on Mon, 2008-05-05 07:30.

Truthmost, the more you post, the more you prove Gadfly's point. I assume that you are Jin He, who has posted things like this before.

I suggest you follow the link to the Galileo Complex post and take Renaisauce's comments to heart. They do indeed apply to you. Of course, one of the hallmarks of the syndrome is that the sufferer can't recognize his/her own affliction.

I'm not saying you are a fool, but I'm sure you know that the people who are most foolish are those who do not recognize the foolhardiness that others see in them.

Have you tried to publish your work in peer reviewed journals? If it has been rejected there, have you received any constructive criticism?

You had some excellent advice in an earlier thread about how to subject your claims to the kind of scrutiny that might support them. Unfortunately, rather than following that advice, you seem to be peddling your uncertified software and hoping people will both buy the product and accept your outrageous claim of being a lone genius.

There has never been a lone genius. Even path-breakers like Einstein, Newton, and Galileo presented their work to people who were capable of evaluating it. Their acclaim came because of the clear originality and quality of their work, not because they stood up and announced, "See how brilliant I am." Sure, their ideas had critics, but they also had supporters. And it was the ideas themselves, not any claims of brilliance by their creators, that led to their success.

Subject your work to criticism and, if it is indeed the brilliant breakthrough you think it is, others will recognize its genius. If that happens, you may be acclaimed a Galileo for the 21st Century. But right now you look like one of many people who delude themselves and are unwilling to probe the limitations of their work.

This will be the last I have to say about this or any future postings of yours until your Galileo Complex is cured.
