A common tactic among pseudoscientists is to claim that they are unrecognized only because their work goes against what scientists have traditionally stood for. From there, they just extend that to claim that the entire universe is trying to persecute all who go against mainstream science.

I suppose it would help if I could figure out what exactly Gene Ray stands for.

Oh, wait... maybe that's what they did...

-S-
I figure that he and his supporters are really programs with a really poorly constructed looping system that responds to all new posts with a preset collection of garbage. As to how they came up with the idea in the first place... probably a random word generator with a simple instruction set to form words into sentences in a semi-ordered fashion.

If the guy could put together a coherent argument, I'd gladly give it an honest read over and agree or disagree with it on its merits, or lack thereof.

But I don't even know what he's trying to argue or what point he's trying to make.

I really hate people that quote long lines of scripture Matthew said this John said that blah blah blah but this block of bold cube nonsense really takes the biscuit.

Why do you people feel the need to mock Pneu? Don't you realize glue-sniffing is a disease that deserves our sympathy and not our derision?

The closest I can figure is that he's trying to say that there are only four different "time zones" on the Earth: in each of the four "corners," at any given time it is sunup, sundown, mid-day, or midnight. He thinks that the theory of "infinite days," the idea that the time of day is a continuous gradient across the surface of the Earth, is evil and inaccurate.

He also thinks that there's a massive conspiracy to indoctrinate children into believing in "infinite days" instead of his four-day Time Cube. What possible motivation there might be for this indoctrination remains unclear.

Thirdly, he thinks the Time Cube disproves God.

Fourth, he thinks that words are evil, for some reason.

And finally, he thinks he is the wisest human to have ever lived because he came up with the Time Cube.

That's about as much sense as I can make of it.

Arrow Good to be Back

A couple of things here...

1) I do NOT appreciate being made fun of after I have been BAN! That is cheap.

2) "Why do you people feel the need to mock Pneu? Don't you realize glue-sniffing is a disease that deserves our sympathy and not our derision?" My thoughts exactally only it's not glue sniffing, it's taking Diphenhydramine HCL (Benadryl).

3) You can not understand the words of the great Dr. Ray simply because you are educated stupid, and you must come to terms with this before you may move on. My appologies to the moderators, I see no other way of stating this.

Educated Stupid: An Opera, based on Pneu

Media suppresses the Truth
and are evil lying bastards,
fit for profits, not morality.

chorus: "la lalala laaaa, la lalala laaaaa"

Media power is by ignoring Truth presented against it.
The public must attack
the evil media
or perish by lies.

Evil media erroneous
linear Time deadly to family Cube.

chorus: "la lalala laaaa, la lalala laaaaa"

Media power is by ignoring Truth presented
against it. Media bastards betray life
on Earth & ravages childhood. Chase the
media liars from town, or be destroyed.

Evil media erroneous
linear Time deadly to family Cube.

full chorus, in a swelling of indignation:

I do NOT appreciate being made fun of after I have been BAN!
You can not understand the words of the great Dr. Ray
simply because you are educated stupid.

Full chorus ends in a chant of "educated stupid...educated stupid...educaaated stuuuuuuuuupiiiiiid...." and fade.
