I'm interested to learn more about your ideas, but that wiki page is not
going to help much. It's a chaotic back-and-forth, with no attribution,
so it's impossible to know who is saying what. Except that it devolves
into the same frustrated confusion, and then insults that this thread
has, so I can tell: those trying to understand are frustrated, and Mark
starts insulting people. "Hitler!": what does that mean??
Mark, if you want people to understand you, you have to get your facts
straight, you have to explain yourself clearly, and when people don't
understand, you have to not resort to insults. Perhaps you are a
misunderstood genius, I can't tell for sure. So far it just looks like
you are making sweeping over-generalizations based on insufficient
understanding of the current and past complexities of the field.
Read and listen more. Write and say less.
