Hi everyone,

Just in the spirit of discussing things I'd like to talk about that are relevant a little bit, since it's my birthday, I though I would just take a moment to express a philosophical belief I hold about competition:

Basically, I am very OK with the idea that consensual competition is healthy and an acceptable way to pursue one's interests and settle disputes. In other words, although some things are guaranteed, other things must be competed for...and I assert that such competitions ought to be voluntary and consensual, where all candidate participants are clearly notified about the competition and allowed to choose whether to participate or not, eligibility permitting.

So, my birthday wish for me this year is one I will "do myself": In accordance with my birthday wish, I am sending out this message to ethical computer-science and other firms requesting that such firms seeking to compete with their competitors in an ethical way reach out to me to consider either offering me a job or seeking to secure my intellectual property via purchase.. The best way to compete alongside or against me or anyone else in the US who, like me, is a law-abiding citizen and an adult with a non-problematic criminal record (I actually have no criminal record at all) is to simply "invite me to the competition"--i.e., ask to consider purchasing my IP or hiring me.

Thanks for reading! I am trying to have a relaxing birthday this year. It looks like I am getting kind of old.

Thanks for thinking of me. I remember that you mentioned your cancer-related illness, and I hope that your health will improve this holiday season.

Best wishes,
Philip

(My previous message was apparently shot down. Here it is again...)

Thanks for thinking of me. I remember that you mentioned your cancer-related illness, and I hope that your health will improve this holiday season.

Best wishes,

According to the official FLIPI index I have one year left if covid-19
does not kill me first. Chemotherapy tends to cancel vaccine efficacy.

The immunocompromised (such as Chemotherapy patients) have a 17-fold
greater breakthrough infection rate and 450% higher mortality rate.

Ouch. I have no formal training in biology/medicine, but even if there is a long wait for a cancer cure for any reason, it ought to be possible to bring all people who pass away back to life somday. I am saying this in the spirit of being supportive, and I hope I'm not bothering you by mentioning it...I read something about the preservation of matter and information in a physics book a while ago, and although I'm rusty on most of my physics reading/studying and definitely haven't completed my own ideas on curing diseases and/or bringing people back from the dead, I'm almost positive, based on some secret STEM-related understandings of mine, that one day, science/technology will advance enough to make death a thing of the past and resurrection possible, even if any individual religious paradigm is wrong, my physics/chemistry/etc. theory of everything is irreperably flawed, and full preservation of people's bodies hasn't been possible.

As far as I know you're likely to be a virtuous person, so aside from any unpleasant pain (I don't know much about this in medical situations), you shouldn't suffer for long and should be able to come back someday.

Again, I hope you don't think I'm trying to be weird. Of course you can't independently confirm what I'm saying and I'm not very "authoritatively credentialed"...I'm intending to try to help you feel better about what must be a difficult time for you although I don't know you well, since there should be good news in the (possibly distant) future when science improves.
