I’m happy to see that you still work on string theory. Do you intend to start publishing again?

No, I do not.

Why? (just curious) Obviously you have ideas and something to say.

I just virtually never had a real pleasure out of this process which has something like dozens of consumers in the world in average and which is laborious and demanding various formalities. This part of what I would be doing was always more or less just work and I was doing these things as a part of the package for the salary.

I am not getting the income for that, I am not a communist who would think it’s really right to do the expert work for free, so I won’t do these things. I think it’s common sense and it’s very simple.

I am sufficiently frustrated when I just report on someone’s excellent paper and the feedback is 100 times less excited than the feedback following some anti-science rant by a worthless sithead … And that’s something I may ignore because it’s just not my business.
