If you would just be honest about the fact that you're not working on the halting problem, people would stop bothering
you.

Well, I doubt if he'll ever do that, but we could stop bothering him anyway. You'd be amazed at how much time you save. :-)

 Dude!!  THINK what you're suggesting!   What about all the innocent children who might read his posts and come away with the wrong idea about halting?  And if someone doesn't reply pointing out PO's numerous mistakes, that would mean that PO IS RIGHT!  On the Internet, the person who posts last in an argument WINS THAT ARGUMENT, regardless of what that person was actualy saying - that's "usenet rulez"...  You'ld be AGREEING WITH PO, saying that he REALLY IS A GENIUS and everybody else here is a lying idiot!!
 

void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
Every first year computer science student that knows C
can confirm that DDD correctly simulated by HHH would
never stop running unless aborted.
The tricky part for people indoctrinated with the
"received view" of the halting problem proofs is
that they believe that HHH is not supposed to report
on the behavior that its actual input actually specifies.
Instead HHH must report on the behavior of the
directly executed DDD().
They never bothered to notice that this directly
executed DDD() IS NOT AN INPUT, instead it is
the caller of HHH().
They are so sure that I am wrong that they
never notice this key point.

 Mike.
ps. ok, I was exagerating slightly :)  The truth is that ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DIFFERENT would come to pass if nobody responded to PO - except that posters would have more time for doing other stuff.  PO would continue believing he is a genius, until he dies and stops posting.  He would never "refine and perfect" his argument to the point where he submits his paper for publishing, and would never gain the industry reputation he needs to reapply to Cycorp and be put in charge of Cyc development. All exactly the same!
 

My ultimate goal here is to formalize the notion of
analytic truth so that we can prevent the rise of the 4th
Reich by providing an objective way to detect lies.
This also will expose the liars of climate change that
are happy to kill off the whole planet as long as they
can keep making fossil fuel profits.

See how well reasoned the above paper is before
you dismiss me as a crank.
