gollark: No. Actually explain things instead of expecting people to blindly pattern-match whatever nonsense you're trying to convey out of a heap of stuff.
gollark: If you want serious treatment:- make actual testable claims- try and explain actual ideas involved- don't just dump unreadably vast amounts of random trash and expect people to read them (I doubt you have)- ideally get peer-reviewed papers but the rest is more important
gollark: *This* doesn't make sense. You're not explaining any ideas but dumping piles of irrelevant information at us.
