Hello everyone, it's time for another posting.
It has come to my attention that I may have been monitored since at least 2002-2003, this is far before I began posting about anthropogenic climate
change, in fact I don't believe I was politically active at all in those years. One thing I do remember is that I got one of my first cellphones
around that time. Also, I vaguely remember arguing with someone, on yahoo chat, who may have been important, on the internet around 1999-2000 it
sounded to me like it was Paul Harvey or someone like that.
If there is one thing I have learned is that if you inadvertently argue and win against someone who may be important, on the internet, you may end up
being monitored. So be careful what you say and to whom on the internet, you may be arguing with the President, or a powerful senator (like Hillary
Clinton), or someone with enough juice to order your continuous monitoring.
Some of the more popular ideas that have been pilfered are the following:
1. Some aspects of Ray Kurzweil's philosophy on Trans-humanism were derived from my old website, especially the notion of “reverse-engineering”
the human brain, use fMRI machines. Also, I was one of the first who informally proved the Artificial intelligence was possible using computers.
Clearly if the human brain is a physical object then it is subject to the laws of physics, which means that it could be modeled using the known laws
of physics. In principle we could adequately model the interaction of every atom in the brain, if so then that simulation would be artificially
intelligent, here is a snapshot of my website before the official publication of the book:

Now to be fair, the concept of an artificially intelligent machine was around way before I addressed it. The difference is that before I addressed the
problem, researchers did not know whether it was possible to program a computer to be artificially intelligent. This is not the strongest instance of
pilfering, but it is worth mentioning.
2. Another idea that has been pilfered is the concept of storing data in DNA. Yes, I know that it has been popular in the media recently, but I
developed the idea in 2010. I was an intern at LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories) and while I was musing on the BART train from South San
Francisco to Livermore I thought wouldn't it be interesting if someone trying to hide information hid it in his DNA. Well, I told one of the other
interns at lunch and a couple of months later it showed up in the media, the credit was given to other researchers, NOT from LLNL mind you. (The name
of the country starts with a C ends with an A, you can guess).
3. Now the most interesting pilfering of ideas came from the entertainment industry. Yes, I know it is strange for a physics PhD student interested in
Aliens to be developing movie and TV show ideas, but it happened quite organically.
I really have no clue what I could have done to warrant some type of wire tapping but, apparently ideas appeared on one of my favorite TV shows The
Simpsons. What is more strange is that I only found out about this recently. I received a DVD box set of the 14th season of The Simpsons as a
Christmas present.
The 14th season covers years 2002-2003. Furthermore, just to allay concerns that I am pilfering ideas from them, it was only in January 2013 that I
FIRST saw the episodes.
After Christmas break I began to watch some of the episodes. I began to notice some coincidences, for example in one episode. EABF07 the city rerouted
airliners so that their landing and take offs were directly above the Simpson's house. This was exactly how it was at my parent's house in South San
Francisco, (those 747's and 727's can be quite loud as they accelerating to cruising altitude.). In episode DABF22 Homer makes comments to the effect:
that marriage is like a coffin and every kid is a nail (a little rough), but I used to make comments around (2002-2006) that once you get married you
are partially dead, but once you have a kid you are fully dead. (I have since changed that opinion) Also, in another episode, Homer drives his car
through the garage door, I often used to joke with friends in high school, circa 1996, that it would be funny if we drove a car through a garage door.
There are other strange coincidences. Furthermore, to test my sanity I compared the 14th season episodes with episodes from all previous seasons and I
find no "strange coincidences" in any Simpson episode before the 14the season.
The most blatant example of pilfering ideas is the movie the Hangover. My brother and I used to tell stories involving many of our old high school,
junior high, and college chums, and they evolved into stories akin to the Hangover, Far before the hangover (Circa 1996-2006).
Due to character limitations I will continue in another post.
