A good test of delusional is ability to live long term very well without being a ward of the state or somebody else.

That’s debatable. Someone could have severe physical disabilities, but be completely rational. I think of Steven Hawking for this case.

I have passed that test very well.

I still have a choice of believing you or thinking this is also delusional.

If we add to the test the ability to propagate DNA into a second and third generation, I've passed that test very well too.

So, every animal on Earth that has a grandsire implies that the grandsire is or was rational? This is delusional.

So while Americans love to do over-the-internet free psychobabble analysis one shouldn't take their diagnoses too seriously.

Your only basis for the argument seems to be calling the analysis “psychobabble.” You probably don’t realize how self-referential your arguments are.

In evaluating "delusion" one needs to take account of the fact that when somebody comes up with something that has never been thought before. Professor Lusignan, a Stanford university physics expert, claimed that CDMA by QUALCOMM breached the laws of physics.

This is somewhat relevant, but a single professor running his mouth off should never stop engineers from pursuing new technology. IMO, they do so at their peril.

It turned out that my "delusional" idea from mid 1989, which Qualcomm also thought of and created…

You may have gone into technical depth about CDMA in the past, but I have never seen any evidence of what you actually constructed. It’s easier for me to think that you’re delusional for thinking that you helped create CMDA.

I'm certainly willing to contemplate all sorts of ideas which might or might not turn out to fit a possible reality. After decades of success in those I seriously pursue, with failures being not too bad and abandoned as soon as they appear failed, I'm not too worried about being delusional.

OK, so you have no problem being considered delusional. That’s a great starting point.

My main purpose in posting and reading is to consider ideas, obtain facts, tempt other people to consider ideas and correct bung ideas that I might have. While doing so, it might as well be fun, because I value fun quite a lot. Fun is secondary to the main purpose of thinking out loud and reading the thinking out loud that other people do.

There is another aspect to your posts: Metacomet… You are a coward hiding behind a bunch of pixels

I think you also called him a racist, just for fun.
