OP lives out of his car and his main source of income seems to be ad
revenue from his website.
He may be nuts be he is pretty smart and some of the articles he has up
there are worth reading. Still, he has to promote it in some way and by
constantly posting these sorts of things he brings people to his site.
I'm honestly impressed he can survive this way so I am willing to
ignore or maybe killfile his postings and leave him be.

But he's right: programmers are pretty much fuckwits[*]: if you think
that's not true you are not old enough.

[*] including me, especially.

He may be smart but obviously hasn't figured out this yet: positive aura
drives more people and more permamently towards you. Perhaps he should
develop an alter ego that could stand side by side with Dalai Lama and see
which one gets more attention.
