Like Wakefield, Cooley is not a well trained parrot.
They left academia at the age of 16 or so. They will not know how to limit what
they know to what they were taught and to return it to the examiners (=
teachers) in "examinations", receiving certificates in conformity. Spargo (and my mother) did well, receiving first class
degrees and more. (All this resentful stuff from me is because I got a 2.2)
When he stayed in my house 10 years ago for ten days, Cooley did not
tell me he was without qualifications (i.e. not a parrot). (I should have
detected it.)
Spargo (another first
class parrot) is desperate to find out whether the Wakefield results are parrot
talk - knowable for a parrot.
Professor Tony Davies writes a lot to me about how to train parrots,
himself a parrot. He has nothing to say about cattq,
saying he lacks the experimental equipment to address it. It's an interesting
idea, to need experimental equipment in order to think about a Question like cattq - "The Catt Question".
Forrest Bishop fell off the parrot training one year into his degree, so
he got a lot more brainwashing than C and F. This was too late for the Thought
Police (academia), and he broke away, developing new thoughts. (Unfortunately
he spent a month of training by Catt, and now talks the Catt-parrot talk. You
can find it all over the www.)
It's all in Orwell and Huxley. Huxley's Nobel prizewinner
"?grandson?" Huxley became a parrot (Nobel
is the top parroting prize), and wrote conformist drivel to me about cattq. It's on my website. It's extremely difficult for a
parrot to deal with cattq. Nobel Josephson has
written a lot of drivel about cattq, and says Pepper
has changed his mind about cattq. (Trinity
again! One of his emails says; "Beware the Catt!")

I've only just realised that Pepper worked for Huxley. They both sent
drivel to me about cattq! So Huxley steered clear of his ?grandfather's? ideas, an was rewarded with Nobel, and even more, Master of
Trinity, my college. Trinity men know how to do the parrot, and used to have
more nobel prizes than
France.
Yakovlev came from the
ultimate Brave New World (Orwell says his book is about the USSR), and his
behaviour in our kind of totalitarian system is well worth watching. He tells
me he is not a politician. Watching him we can learn a lot. He has survived
both systems, although he's too clever by half.

Malcolm was right to tell Alex and Spargo to
limit their visit to me to two days. I find my meetings with Malcolm very
exhausting, because our discussion goes outside the box.
Maybe if we took a day off talking, we could last five days.
I need to take a rest.

In 2016 I bought some
mercury wetted relays to do capacitor discharge into resistors but the relays
were defective.
They only worked by tilting
but still sufficed as non-bouncing switches.
I used these to do a
demonstration at a small education conference in Massachusetts.

Come on!
You can do the new stuff!
I must admit there is a
niche for you to tell schoolteachers they can do it.
The Italians rubbished me
in the journal "Physics Education". I could give you the details, and
you could write a short article and offer it to the editor who edited an
article rubbishing me. He would not remember the trouble he had over me, I got
the president of his InstPhys to overrule him, but I
lacked the time to continue.
If you are interested in
doing this, ask me for more details.
The three rogue Florence
professors published in his journal damaging to Catt.
