Not a rant, a real Windows 11 update question.... what the heck is it doing?

Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn had the same problem and he might have a financial advantage. But he didn't use money to overcome the problem. He regularly attends conferences. I'm more interested in his physics interviews. The physicists were very open to interviews. Religion doesn't interest me as much. But he actually had a harder time breaking into philosophy of religion. Get involved if you want to succeed in this area. [Upcoming events in Philosophy of Religion - PhilEvents](https://philevents.org/search/topic/575) Not my cup of tea, just making recommendations to help you succeed. If your ideas have merit present them to your peers, not software engineers.

Codeproject.com is probably not the right place to disseminate your ideas. There are negative members here that purchase [OSINT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source\_intelligence) information believing they can know about a person simply using the forum name. One of the things I learned in my life is that some of the most brilliant people are eccentric. Perhaps they come from the LGBT community, perhaps they are bipolar, maybe they are on the autistic spectrum or maybe schizoaffective. Or maybe they have only $2 dollars to their name and live in poverty. Doesn't matter, your ideas are valuable, make your self visible. :)

The $2 sounds familiar! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I will do my best! Thanks for the ideas!

How does book pricing work on Amazon? Do you have any control over it? I picked it up (new copy) for $5 plus tax. But I checked after I bought it the price is now $20. Would you like me to leave a review?
When I uploaded this version I set the price at $19.95. Evidently someone on their end put it on special for an introductory period, and now that period is expired. But they are still supposed to pay the same royalty. I also have ebooks on my laughingatthedevil site for less, but still more than their $5 deal - that was a good grab, and I'm glad you got it while it was still on. I'd love a review! I hope it opened up some long-forgotten aspects of history!

PS - I will also have signed copies available from my site when I get some in, hopefully next week. That $2 has been a limiter. Any sold there result in more bill-paying abilities on my end. I'd sign yours without buying a new copy if you wanted.

I bought a physical copy. I can't seem focus on e-books for some reason. I need paper books, that's what I grew up reading.

It's a mixture of agreement and disagreement on your conclusions. The Samson origin hypothesis is very well done and very convincing. I've heard many religious scholars mention that the Samson story didn't fit and possibly had older origins. This part was very well done. No 'strong' disagreements, just that some of your conclusions are 'fuzzy' because of lost history. I also had a hard time figuring out which parts of your book were 'original research'. Alot of what you base your conclusions on come from older scholars/research. There is nothing wrong with that, but I was really curious which parts were your own research. Your 'average' reader probably wouldn't care about this. But because I somewhat know you, it was my main focus. I have much more to say but it's not codeproject material. I do have a strong recommendation. Your videos and some of your commentary come across as atheistic. I think you might find that there are believers that are comfortable with the astronomical origins. Especially in the jewish community. I think you could widen your audience with a more neutral commentary. Let people come to their own conclusions.

I responded to your above message. I forgot to mention that I have alot of very detailed feedback but it's not appropriate for codeproject. I will give you a better feedback via your website contact at a later date along with some questions. Edit: I also see that you put an enormous amount of time and research into this. I can see that you are very passionate about this subject.

I look forward to it, and wish I could have gotten such feedback long ago. I tried, but all the people in my circles were pretty negative, including most of the scholars I approached. Have a great night, and happy holidays!

The first edition was completed 2008, as you can see in the copyright page. That version was over 400 pages long, and was a little more new-agey. Fourteen years to work it to this, with each version being an improvement to its present state. I also had to master graphics production and typesetting, because Amazon's graphic creation recommendations were crap. On the other hand, Word is amazing - everything was put together in it, with the embedded graphics. A bunch of work, like you said, but Word made it a LOT easier than other programs I dabbled with.

For what it's worth, I didn't see any crackpot ideas in your book. Controversial? Absolutely. But worth discussion.
You would have if you had read the first edition! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: (I am glad I had an opportunity to fix those bad premises, and you didn't see the first edition! Even if it did leave me poor and suck up a lot of time!)

Ok, now you caught my attention. Where can I get the first addition? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
You can't! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I think I still have a copy on my shelves somewhere, but it ain't going anywhere. If we ever meet and you remind me, I'll try to find it and you can flip through it. I can't even find the electronic files anywhere anymore!

(It is not even close to being as good as this edition - I should buy it myself to get it off the market, but if you want to see how badly it started I guess I won't argue.)

I wouldn't mind hearing your personal story. Discovery is often motivated by personal experience. My instincts are telling me your motivation is more clearly defined in the first book. :-D Refresh the Ebay listing!

Enjoy it, as much as possible. The astronomy was wrong, it wasn't presented as well, the writing was much worse, a couple sections were completely removed as I learned more of the art of writing - etc., etc... But I'm interested in your thoughts after you've looked it over. edit: I can't really remember much about what is in it at this point, although I do remember taking out an entire chapter on Constantine.
