” Maybe they will publish my paper: Conceptualizing The Algorithmic Mental Model: An Introductory Guide to Complex Multi-Dimensional Semi-Permeable Modes of Transmission Wave Guides”

Your post reminds me of a prank someone pulled a few years ago. An actor was hired to read a paper at some social science conference, on language theory and signifiers or something along that line.

The paper he read was stuffed full of impenetrable jargon. And it had been written expressly to mean absolutely nothing. Not one of the academics attending the presentation could tell that it was utterly meaningless.
