It is kind of hard to take someone seriously who is so obviously dripping with bitterness, ending their blog post with "Maybe some adventurous person outside the degenerate welfare-queen anglosphere will figure it out"

it's hard to stay positive when people used 'credential-based' reasoning to disregard your questioning/criticism; this is very standard in academia.

and it's not like you can say "let's see who does better in the real products marketplace" with many of these research things (over 20 years before viable commercialization, if ever).

Life is hard. Doesn't change the fact that a weird rant full of bitter ad hominems is almost certainly going to be ignored as being a crazy person wanting some sort of revenge.
