If this isn't incredible satire, it's just incredibly sad.

#12Let me see if I get this: you want a database filled with words, and the words linked to a graphics rendering engine, so that if someone wrote, "The mighty oak between the streams that cuts through the green field" ... hypothetically you would be able to translate that into actually seeing an image of what the sentence describes?
So, you want to invent a new programming environment based on common language structure to ... make video games / virtual reality based on text descriptions?

#13If you ever meet investors, potential employees, or customers make sure you never ever speak or write like this. I understand you are trying to create some kind of intellectual filter here but like any other kind of bullshit, this is totally unnecessary. You'll find as an entrepreneur simple ideas are best, crisp articulation is key and being honest is going to win you more friends than you will with this approach.
Try (if my understanding of what you're trying to do is correct): "I'd like to link a database full of terms with well-defined meanings to a graphics rendering engine so when I type "The dog runs in the green field" I get an instant green field with a dog running through it."

#16I understand that, given the content of my appeal, these jokes are to be expected. Tho I assure you I mean business. Most people I approach about this startup take me seriously, in fact, as they should. I've agonized over it most of last year, while propelling a poetry journal to significant regard. Thanks for reading. Hope we can talk.
I can't quite tell if you are serious or not. "What I've got: a drawing board at transmuting WordNet into a virtual spacetime, over which meaning is generated, amalgamated into cosmic structures, rather than extracted." So... you would like to create a virtual spacetime consisting of cosmic structures from a lexical database (WordNet)? So... each word would be like a body of mass (like a planet), and each cluster wou…
To tell you the truth, had I been "talking straight" in the Cartesian manner you imply, I would have had to face much stronger opposition than these other besotted remarks. However, I hear your interest, and there is no question that I want to play ball. tefflox -at gmail.com

Re: Looking for a technical cofounder
#18OK. I actually spent a few minutes trying to parse this post, and I think I get what you're saying. You want to make a spatial, navigable, and extensible model from the linkages in WordNet. Something like a semantics FPS. Either that or it's just gibberish and you're taking us for a ride. Am I close?
Let me tell you, I am expert in deflecting routine semantic parsing. Me, I parse on the level of one's reflexive vowels. I hate to wear the mask of brinksmanship, but yes, you catch the drift. The problem I face, as stated, and more to the point, I use my best strength which goes unrecognized by most, which really gives me the advantage. Of course, I am an old man of 30. Yes, you get the point, that the ideation is true, rather than false. What else is there, dealing with ideas? What can you expect from an idea, but to be taken for a ride? I think it's the definition of interest. For privilege, look elsewhere.

Where is this textbook you speak of? I'd love to gloss the index. Are you talking to me, or some professor of yours? Sounds like he's open to a leveraged buyout. Think again, son.

Hey Tefflox, its called real life experience. I'm a current winter YC founder, so i have some idea of what i'm talking about.
