Thank you for writing this. I wish I could upvote you more than once.

This is a very accurate way of describing him.

He used the usual tactics, creating a cult like following and dismissing those poor souls that actually tried to understand him in good faith.

These hacks (in the pejorative sense) also had a penchant for using math sounding language because in their sociopathic minds it lended credibility and gravitas to their speech.

Nothing but contempt for charlatans like him. Some excerpts to give a taste.

>The Einsteinian constant is not a constant, is not a center. It is the very concept of variability-it is, finally, the concept of the game. In other words, it is not the concept of something—of a center starting from which an observer could master the field—but the very concept of the game which, after all, I was trying to elaborate.

> This differential topology [topique différantielle] adjourns, guardian after guardian, within the polarity of high and low, far and near (fort/da), now and later. The same topology without its own place, the same atopology [atopique], the same madness defers the law as the nothing that forbids itself and the neuter that annuls oppositions.

The man is glorified poorly trained Markov chain.
