Quote from: K-Dog on May 27, 2024, 11:26 PMTDOS saying that we are unknown and unremarkable.

Well, not sure I said it, but I did imply it.

Quote from: k-DogThat is his truth.

More like a thorough observation of reality, posting activity, active users, etc etc.

I don't know what "truth" might be, ask a religious person?

Quote from: K-Dog'They' are not reading posts to tell us we have done a good job.

Maybe they aren't reading posts but just archiving stuff on the internet? Good bad or otherwise. And define what you even mean by "good job"?

Quote from: K-DogI have been gang-stalked.  Veiled threats have been made suggesting my family could be hurt.

I have been gang stalked. Haniel and RE for example. What is a "veiled threat"? And if you took it seriously, and considering the power of the people you think are behind it, was it so scary that you modified your behavior? Or just kept happily doing the same thing...demonstrating that any claim of serious threat would seem to be suspect. 

Quote from: K-DogMaking a recording of a conversation you have with a family member using your phone as a bug, and then showing snippets of that conversation back to you later embedded in other correspondence is a very effective veiled threat which works on a lot of people.  Likely most people I am sure.  But the intent of those threats was so obvious to me that I could not take the threats seriously.  I doubt a family member would be 'taken out' before I am 'taken out'.  And once I am 'taken out', there is no reason to hurt my family. 

Well good for you then, not taking threats seriously. I did the same with what Haniel and RE and Surly were doing, I mean really, as you and I have both seemed to indicate, can you take threats seriously from people who themselves don't appear to be serious?

Quote from: K-DogHence my behavior will be appropriate to the situation.  There is nothing else for me to figure out.

Sounds like you aren't worried about it in the least then. You sure this isn't just some amateur hour computer geeks playing secret agent like Haniel and RE were doing to me?

Quote from: TDoS on May 27, 2024, 07:14 PMAs far as creative and original....can you name an idea of yours that qualifies that someone else hasn't hypothesized first?

Yes.

Oh NOW I'm curious. Did you write one of your many dissertations on it, or is it written in invisible ink on a blank sheet of paper in your headstone?

Quote from: RE on May 27, 2024, 04:16 PMTrue Genius is never recognized in your own lifetime. 

Tell it to Einstein and Oppenheimer. Marie Curie. Newton? Darwin? Tesla? Galileo?

Oppenheimer wasn't a genius.

Tell it to his non Manhattan project accomplishments.

What about J. Robert Oppenheimer as a scientist stands out after all these years? Mark Paris, a theoretical physicist at Los Alamos, takes a look at some of the high points in a column for Physics Today, tracing Oppenheimer's important contributions to the emergence of quantum theory. Oppenheimer achieved influential work in the spectral properties of molecules, offered an understanding of cosmic rays and neutron stars, and predicted what would come to be called "black holes." Much of that work came while founding the leading school of theoretical physics in America.

Let me guess..you fault him because he didn't go to the right high schule where the cool kids all went?

The answer to the title question is "No", but Saito does get a feature article in The Atlantic.  Going Mainstream!
