I am the guy. And this is not a joke. And the fact that I am making fun of academia is not co-incidental. The point is that I am using academia's own insights to bridge a major gap. Academia (say Theoretical Computer Scientists) don't take their next-door neighbors (the Linguists) seriously. This is why they can never invent what they want: the mind. If they ever collaborated, the singularity would be long behind us.
