You're taking a bludgeoning in here. It's time to take a step back and think about why that is and what it means. Would you care to know my thoughts?

Your motives are great, an you're pursing them with enthusiasm. I'm sure someone told you in engineering school something similar to "if you can't communicate your ideas, they're as good as dead".

Engineers work on projects that are bigger than one person. Big problems are broken down in to bite sized pieces, those pieces are solved, and the answers have to be assembled back into one big solution. That takes coordination and communication.

We also have to sell our ideas to the people funding them and the people using them.

You're struggling in these areas. If you have a great product, you need a better demonstration and some help with messaging. The high-level view of this is common sense, so show the way your algorithm gets the details right. People aren't going to read your paper, so make the graphs and concepts into a 1-sheet, or an interactive web-app, etc. (or just don't care what reddit thinks and take your work somewhere it will be useful)

The earth needs to solve the problem you're working on. Make sure solving it ranks above stroking your ego.

reddit it is as beautiful as the people on it. Some corners are creepy/scary/juvenile, but there are many uplifting moments as well

That’s the given-justification for catcalling. (It’s not true there either)

could you explain this a bit?

It seems like you could line the entire perimeter of the bed with diagonal magnets (mostly vertical, but tilted towards or away from the center of the bed somewhat). Fixing magnets in a floor-mounted unit that align with the bed-magnets using opposite poles should repel the bed.

This arrangement intuitively seems like it would handle the limited side-loads while supporting the larger against-gravity loads. But I understand someone has studied this and shown that magnetic fields don't work this way. Could you clarify why in layman's terms?

fundamentalist view of scripture

Could you expand on this a bit? Which views do you find particularly limiting? (not challenging, just encouraging you to clarify your point).

hierarchical structure

Meaning the SDA General Conference>Unions>Conferences, etc? Are you suggesting that a congregational approach would be more effective?
