Okay, given the context, it isn’t lack of quotes that threw me, it was the lack of _quotation marks_. As in: > [@](#): > > I’d be willing to go as high as a Tarzan lover and a bellicose “Jerusalem as capital is great” guy. I just wasn’t parsing the sentence as-is. It was an “eats, shoots, and leaves” situation. ---

I think it’s pretty clear (to me, anyway) that **SamuelA** never understood what **Stranger On A Train** was saying and for some reason decided to grandstand in GQ to showcase his self-perceived awesome intellect, but instead just ended up making a complete ass of himself as usual. BTW, I didn’t know who Gene Ray was until you mentioned it earlier. Following your earlier link, yep, this is **SamuelA** to a T: 😃 … claims that all current sciences are part of a worldwide conspiracy to teach people lies; the theory’s ultimate truth (and what the conspirators are said to be covering up) is that each day actually consists of four days. Alongside these statements Ray described himself as a “godlike” being with superior intelligence who has “absolute” evidence and proof for his views. Academia has not taken [him] seriously. > **[Time Cube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Cube)** > > Time Cube was a pseudoscientific personal web page set up in 1997 by Otis Eugene "Gene" Ray.
