I really like Collier's 2 types of crackpots:

But I feel like Nassim Haramein
<https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0,48&q=%22Nassim+Haramein%22>
is of a 3rd type, more like Eric Weinstein, I guess. I'm too ignorant of
the math to be able to say how much of the math they know. But they
can't be of the two types Collier identifies.
Tangentially, Aaronson has some interesting things to say about Kaku's
new book: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=7321

About the flux capacitor ... [ahem] ... I mean the Harmonic Flux Resonator:
"The HFR is an electromagnetic resonance generator, so it generates a circularly
polarized electromagnetic field with clockwise-counterclockwise dual-torus topology
(considering both its hemispheres). This electromagnetic field accelerates charges
(electrons and nuclei) in the quartz crystal lattice, this in turn generates harmonic
acoustic oscillations of the crystal lattice. When these harmonic acoustic oscillations
hit the resonant frequency of the ARK crystal, the vibratory modes couple with the field
modes (harmonic oscillators) of the quantum vacuum zero-point energy field. This coupling
generates a constant phonon flux into the crystal lattice, so that the harmonic
mechanical vibrations continue indefinitely, even when removed from the electromagnetic
field of the HFR."

Sorry, Glen. I only spent about ten minutes on it.

We have a local rock hound who used to sell ... [ahem] ... minerals at the market.
Having made it clear, at the pub, that I'm a skeptic, we came to a compromise much like
my doctor's defense of having an acupuncture brochure in his office ... if it makes you
feel better, then that's a satisficing definition of "works".
Should I have spent my lunch hour on this? Honestly, IDK. But I doubt it.

She has been held to a higher standard than the everyday Silicon Valley startup
CEO. Among the psychological features of such a person – in the job description
-- is the ability to grossly exaggerate the maturity and promise of their
companies’ technologies. When it comes to AI Ethics, the concern seems just as
arbitrary. Why would we hold these stochastic parrots to a higher standard than
their training material?
