Hey, at least he's doing something with his life. Where's any work of yours you spent decades on? Even if he's completely wrong - which I'm sure he is - at least he has something he can claim as his life's work.
I don't appreciate anyone here belittling him, honestly. Yes, I know, it's mostly ramblings, but again, he's at least trying to tackle the grand challenge. What do any of his attackers have instead? Absolutely nothing. This toxic behavior against him is disgusting.
