I wasn't 'laughing' in that way, Mr. Barker.

It's as I stated in my prior post, to which
you replied -- be-cause I recognized the
'similarity' between what you and I do.

It was Empathy, not 'ridicule'.

In my case, I've done what I suggested
that you should do. The stuff I do is also
hard-to-do, but, in my case, I can rely-in
the fact that anyone who wants to Verify
what I discuss can do so by reading in
standard Neuroscience texts. All that stuff
is, more or less, Experimentally-Verified.

Your Problem is more-difficult in that one
way -- because it lacks such easy access
to an independent means of Verification.

It's hard.

I understand.

I was just telling you that one who would
Fix what needs Fixing has to "leave no
stones unturned".

I was telling you why.

I was Encouraging you to 'move' in that
direction.

I was, simultaneously, telling you that, so
far, you've done nothing that allows folks
to Distinguish between Truth and 'fabrica-
tion'.

There are whole 'teams' of folks who're
'organized' to do nothing but spread 'dis-
information'. To overcome what they do,
one has to "look-elsewhere" to find the
"chinks" in the 'walls' of Falsehood that
they 'construct'.

I was Encouraging you to do so.

And the method I used was, itself, "Hard"
be-cause, if your concerns are Genuine, I
wanted to "break-through" to you, in the
midst of your 'throwing yourself against
the wall', and, if you're just co-operating
in spreading disinformation, then I wanted
to stand-against that.

The bottom line is that nothing you've ever
done Enables anyone to Distinguish be-
tween these alternatives.

So, if your efforts are Sincere, find a way
to so Enable folks.

And, if it's so, when you do so, I, for one,
will Mightily-Celebrate your Success.

Get it?
