    Resolution on the 5,000

    I have launched a project to resolve the plight of the more than 5,000 Leaving Cert pupils who were failed in mathematics. They did not fail, it was the educational system which failed, and it was a constitutional failure, because the State is obliged to provide a minimum intellectual development. Therefore I am going to bring forty of those students down to Dingle, together with eight instructors, four administrators and myself. We will live in Dingle for a year or so, and the students will be trained in my system of Computational Mathematical Physics, they will also be trained in language, poetry, music fishing, mountaineering, sea kayaking, etc... They will become some of the greatest exponents of Irish life and culture, they will also receive training in business, and they will be trained to teach my knowledge. After that they will be dispatched all over the country, where they will train the remaining students who were failed by the State's Educational System, then in a little over a years time we will have a marvellous graduation ceremony on my Island University. This whole program starts on 1st November, with a grand opening and parade in Dingle. The whole cost of this program will be born by Central Government. It is the most important Educational Initiative in the past 5,000 years, as a part of the course will involve the knowledge of Real Geometry, the geometry of the unified field, and the geometry with the ability to resolve the currrent financial crisis. The state has to fund it as a penalty for it's failure.

    The details have just been passed to the Minister for Education by phone and e-mail.

    Further Details on the Dingle Math's Project

    Click on my University Site to get further details of the Dingle Math's Project. Also I rather think Aengus is more appropriate in the Irish context, or maybe Balor, or Mogh Aolaoibh. Our knowledge goes much further back than a few thousand years.

    Great idea. V. positive, proactive attitude.
    Lived in Dingle for a year back in the day, surfed every day after work, great time.
    I believe ur physical activities regimen is very forward looking. You might consider bona fide surf training, which would offer a nice spiritual compliment to unified field studies. Coomenoole strand is perfect and safe, though the swell isn't great.
    It's a pity you weren't around when I failed maths first time round
    Best of luck

    Sorry Mogroth,
    but your web page exposition of your mathematical ideas is incoherent.

    Have you asked any professional mathematicians to critique your ideas?

    Unfortunately mathematics is not a democracy - if you are wrong, you are wrong; even if 5000 people say you are right..

    Well the imaginery Constitution that so many p.ie posters rely on might say that but the real one doesn't.

    The real one says that primary education will be free and that in order to provide a minimum education the State can force parents to make their children attend school.

    You'll do well to find a Constitutional lawyer who'll argue that this has any relevance for the teaching and examination of maths.
    A demagogue is someone who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

    Obviously you don't read the Constitution properly. The real constitution put the primacy of education is in the hands of the parents. Constitutions are laid out in order of precedence. The state's role in education is mentioned after the parent's role, therefore it is subservient, not the other way round.

    And where does it say that children have the right to be taught maths in a certain way?

    Best of luck in the Supreme Court. Wear a tie.

    Can you reference this real constitution so that we know which one you're talking about or is this a Joseph Smith type document that we can't see?
    Dan Sullivan. I was back but we still couldn't all have a vote.
