Ali's Journal

The article was rejected because it didn’t fit A&S. The journal publishes PDE-related results. The plan is to upload the Infinity course on a decentralized video-sharing platform (I’m now working on chapter 2, there will probably be 4 chapters). The second course will be OOP math structure and the imaginary unit. So the article I sent to the mathematics and computers journal will be the basis of the second course. I think it will roughly take 4 weeks to complete the Infinity course.

My stay in Dubai was very brief and most of the time I was wondering about what would happen next so I couldn’t explore the city very much. I will do that in the future.

This is the new plan: I will make a course about infinity based on materials discussed in Article 3 (plus historical discussions about zero and infinity). I bought a book in Dubai about zero. It discusses historical aspects and, besides other sources, is a good reference for that section. The course will be uploaded to Udemy probably. The article itself and the materials discussed in the course will be available for free but people should pay a small fee for accessing videos on Udemy (or another platform- I’m not sure which platform to use at this point, I might use my personal website too). Materials for this course are ready and I’ll start working on it today. The next courses will be SR and numbers (which is incomplete and I’m still working on the materials) and also OOP math structures and FS. So there will be 3 courses.

The general election is the best opportunity for the Green to present itself with a new image and win the vote of tech enthusiasts. So it’s incorrect to say the social ad platform is risky because there is an election next year and we are battling for 4 seats. In contrast, exactly because Green is battling for 4 seats it should make use of all opportunities. I’m not hiding my past, in contrast, the court game is being developed alongside the courses. So there is nothing to hide. Because of my past experiences, I’m developing the court project which is all about the evolution of the way court and law work.

UPDATE 1:

The leave camp hired a Canadian data scientist. His contributions were critical in the outcome of the Brexit referendum. So it’s completely incorrect to say the Green’s project is outsourcing beyond borders or whatever. It’s vital that the Green party presents a new social image of itself in the next general election and this should not be blocked. It is not against the law and “outsourcing beyond borders” happened in previous elections too.

As I have said before I bought a ticket for tomorrow. I think it will take some years for articles to be published and read. Also, I’ll be working on the court game and gradually expanding it into the debate project. I may post much less from now on as I’m doing it alone. Things I post will be written for myself for future reference.

I should say it’s really strange that they are so easily convinced that I should return and refuse to send a one-sentence email. They will have their excuses.

I’ve started plan B. I searched a bit among scandals and found the Venezuelan currency scandal to be suitable for the court project. I’ll read about it more so I can start the design process and then hire freelancers for the development phase. Meanwhile, I will work on the articles too. So nothing is paused. It takes some months and will try again. But this time I will go on a journey only when they eventually manage to send the one-sentence formal invitation. I don’t take a more firm stance now because other countries will take advantage of that but It should be clarified what’s going on.

UPDATE 1:

It’s already clear that I won’t get any reply but because I said I would wait until Tuesday, I’ll wait until 5 pm (Dubai time) tomorrow and buy a ticket. I won’t check my email after 5 pm so any email sent after that will be read when I’m in Iran.

when I left Iran I thought that was the last time I saw the country. The time has not come yet.

I had said it 3 months ago. Before starting my journey, I said it was soon, I had to publish articles first, work on the projects more and then go on the trip. Now I’m going to do what I said 3 months ago. However, things will be very different this time. I’ll try to be more sociable. Of course, since I’ll stay in Iran for some months, the plan for a sociable life should be different. Probably attending different classes rather than trying to speak with individuals in a cafe for example. It means I should socialize with groups of people rather than individuals.

In the next months, I’ll work on articles and submit them, continue working on the projects and, of course, improve my social skills. However, it’s important that the nature of the project won’t change. It won’t be a centralized platform similar to current centralized platforms. Afterwards, I’ll try again to enter the UK. I have said it many times no one will take advantage of the situation I’m in. I’ll try again in the future. So nothing has been paused. Projects move on but on a different path for some months.

I’ll wait until around Tuesday and then buy a ticket for Friday and return. This is my choice. I tried all different paths but got no response. It was clear that I would run out of money after a while and had to return. I didn’t get any one-sentence email that “I’ll read your article” or “You should contact another student” or something. And because there has been no response, the only option for me is to return as soon as possible so I have money to spend on plan B. So I’m not making any decision here. It doesn’t take time to send a one-sentence email. So if I get a response after my return, it is simply a naive trick to pretend they tried. I’ll be in Dubai until Friday. So any email after that is a worthless attempt. Also, no matter what happens and how (and when) I eventually enter the UK, no one can take advantage of the situation. I will have no obligation to do anything in return to anyone.

UPDATE 1:

I’ve paid for my hotel until Wednesday. So I’ll wait until Tuesday and if I don’t get any reply will buy a ticket for the next day. If there is going to be any reply it can be sent by Tuesday. If there is no reply no matter how long I wait I won’t get any reply.

It’s interesting that I’m told it’s better to stay. I’m not making any choice. It would be great if time could be stopped but it’s not possible. It would be great if I could stay for months and years and then try again but that’s impossible. I don’t follow impossible advice.

The debate project was a type of freelance job so I could earn some money and stay. Got no reply. Then tried another project. Again no reply. I was told to go through the academic channel and again no reply. I wonder what’s going on there.

UPDATE 2:

Borrowing money to stay longer is unspeakable. I tried all my options and none worked. If I stay longer and spend all my money plus the additional money that I borrow, I will have no money for plan B which is great to press on me to accept their conditions. That’s not going to happen. There should always be plan B so I can turn to the other plan if plan A doesn’t work. I have more than 2 days. On Tuesday afternoon I’ll buy a ticket for the next day.

UPDATE 3:

I’ve been clear in my previous posts that the project will not be similar to current centralized platforms. So there will be no investor who owns a large percentage of the platform. I had said it before but thought I should repeat myself.

I’ll stay only if I get a reply to my email. But it’s not clear to me what’s going to happen next when I get a reply. As I said before If I’m convinced I will enter the UK in weeks or a few months I will spend the money I have. Or the project should start so I’ll have a paid job so I can stay here for a while. If not I have no option but to return as soon as possible (this Wednesday) and work on plan B.

It seems plan A should be discarded. My plan B is to return and develop a simple court game besides working on articles. The court game will be the first version of the debate project. I’ll do it alone so it can be decentralized later on. The social ad platform requires AI so it will be postponed for now. I’ll work on the overall design but it won’t be implemented now.

So this is the plan I return in 4-5 days and spend half of the day on articles and half of the day on the platform. Articles should be written and published. Then I should wait for some months so it is read before I can do anything academically. These are not my choices. This is the only possible option for me. So the court project will be the entry point of the project. Then after its initial publication, I can contact others to expand it.
