YOu know it's pretty funny. This is hopeless I'm sure. You're pretty smart but you might want to revisit some fundamental assumptions. But research is a combination of out there ideas and solid reliable advances. Crazy ideas that go nowhere don't necessarily add much.

I also think it's interesting the contradictions. New views on research but you'll say women haven't done anything so not worth supporting. You could apply that reasoning to anything new. But you don't.

Anyway good of you to try to qualify your remarks at the end.

I do feel a bit like a spool of thread however.

But I agree I should have spoken better on my research. I wasn't sure which Jeffrey I was talking to. I'll speak more boldly and in context next time.
