IIRC, the wife has seen the video, but refuses to let it get out.

i think it's a fair assumption that if you knew who it was you'd have heard about it IRL by now. the whole social circle is just fuckin befuddled how to handle this

edit- the thing that kills me is that this dude is apparently otherwise normal. like just normal normal, not even normal by academic standards which is Bug gently caress Nutso Crazy to the real world. he just happened to be good with the handful of specific software that these academics needed, then by stint of prior expertise, managed to lamprey himself into the department without having had much in the way of academical training.
one of those self starting tech guys they don't make anymore. its like can you imagine finding out Dilbert owned a fuckin sex slave or something.

well no not dilbert, that wouldn't surprise me. i dunno, one of the office dudes? who's the least sexy guy on the office. him. if he had a sex slave, that's like what finding this out feels.

Worse, like many engineer types, he thinks this is how it should be.

"A book about it"? It's like two pages in a single book and by the fourth paragraph it's pointing out problems and shortcomings of the model. Like, Adams is actually a crazy person and almost certainly a sociopath but don't talk so much out of your rear end.

The shortcomings of the model that he then explains away and ignores, and he never gets to the point of admitting that the model is actually, obviously wrong. In fact he justifies it by saying that no-one objected to the theory when he put it in his newsletter (as a comedy story from his cat, but he somehow expected someone to write in and complain about it if it was wrong anyway, and he takes this lack of objection as an indication that it's correct) and even gives the stupid loving thing a eureka moment origin story about sitting bolt upright in bed at 3am with the idea fully-formed in his brain. That's not the origin story of a stupid throwaway thought experiment.

Like, yeah, the book's basically just his bullshit brain droppings (there's a bit where he offhandedly mentions that the age of consent was raised from 10 to 18 by "our lawmakers" and nothing improved so some day they'll raise it to 120 what a fun joke) but the idea that he doesn't believe the gravity poo poo requires also suggesting that he doesn't believe in his affirmation poo poo or his master persuader poo poo.
