I get that, but please don't put everyone in the same category, or else you'll lose the baby with the bathwater.

Asking you to say something more about yourself and to introduce the ideas briefly is, I find, a very good way of distinguishing baby from bathwater.

But you didn't share the book. That's pretty annoying.

Sad as it may be, I think the onus is on the poster to distinguish herself from all the woo bathwater out there when diving straight in with the message at a new forum.

What I have found on the most part are people who want me to give a synopsis of the book, which is very difficult to do. I can tell you that it is knowledge that lies locked behind determinism, but the definition the author poses is different than the conventional definition. People for the most part don't want to read anything they fear might turn out to be fraudulent.
