The implication that I am involved in a fraud is offensive to me and I'm sure would be equally offensive to other members here if they were subjected to such innuendo.
I'm not sure how John arrived at the implication. I previously agreed with another posters comments:
Never attribute to fraud that which can be explained by credulous hope.
John leaped from 'credulous hope' to 'involved in a fraud' but I need to think about it more before I take that leap of faith with him
The link above is from a thread John entitled Bessler's "perpetual motion machine". I've read the thread and I never saw evidence describing this alleged machine. There were a lot of calls for some but none came. They were calls to the author of the dubious book entitled ‘Perpetual Motion; An Ancient Mystery Solved?’ I'm sure a lot are still wondering what evidence there is the ancient mystery was solved.
There is a new book in the works with the proposed title 'The Orffyreus Code, A Blueprint for Free Energy'. I think the titles from the recent thread to the former book to the proposed one might indicate a pattern of fraud but as I began I never gave it much thought until John mentioned it. John deserves full credit for this idea. Thanks John.
The economic interest John has with his inaccurate view of contemporary physics demonstrated by his philosophical attempt to rewrite the science sans mathematics (and the sight of formulae and equations can deter) combined with creating confusion about his writings with inaccurate titles is derived from selling books. I have no idea how good a living it is yet that's beside the point.
Should I be mentioning these facts? Do they vilify John? It would be kinder to John not to discuss these unpleasant facts but their discussion is kinder to those that might be snookered in to giving him some cash for his books. I suppose that's the greater good.
The site, besslerwheel, has an economic interest in persuading people to suspend rational thought and take a leap of faith into the cult of Bessler by accepting donations through paypal. The third pillar of that cult showing up in the private forum John moderates (screen name ovyyus) sells books also.
John has taken the time to ask me three questions and in the next entry I'd like to answer those questions. I began this blog stating I was interested in feedback and to accomplish that I'm going to include a poll. I really am curious.
Thanks for taking the time to read the blog. If you have any comments please leave them.
