It is said that simple people are sometimes impressed by glass baubles.
How do cheap and stupid, fallacious ideas violating basic logic attain
prestige values and become marketed at universities for fortunes? The
reification fallacy is an elementary fallacy and a foolish error that a
child would know better than. However, we find universities convincing
people that ideas involving this error are highly intelligent, such as
expanding and bending space. Then, people uncritically and
thoughtlessly
embrace these ideas without a second thought. This is very pathetic,
slavish, and avoidable.

The really amusing thing is that people are intellectual weaklings who
couldn't reason themselves out of a paper bag, or they wouldn't accept
curved space for a second.
Did you ever acknowledge my point that Einstein should have understood
that parallel lines would have to meet for space to curve? Isn't it
stupid as hell not to recognize that? If he had been an honest and
forthright person, he would have said we have to presume that parallel
lines meet to claim space is curved, and this is our derivation for the
doubling of the Newtonian deflection. Then, every reasonable person
would have balked at such an irrational assumption and recognized him as
a foolish fellow.

You presume space can be treated as a surface. That is a petitio
principii. You presume it's curved to conclude it's curved. It's not a
surface and its not curved.
