There is no accepted truth unless it has been evaluated, discussed, and acknowledged. This is the classic pattern that applies to scientific truths.
The standard process is to submit an article to a specialized journal, which will then subject it to anonymous peer review and may decide to publish it.
A journal such as the Journal of Peace Research indicates, for each published article, when it was submitted. This allows us to see how long it takes for an article to be published. Apparently, the time required for publication is 1 to 2 years from the time of submission.
How many specialized, scientific journals could guarantee recognition of the “Quésako Cycle” through publication? Fewer than 10, all in English, and only in the Western world. Is there an equivalent system in the non-Western world? Perhaps, but I am not aware of it.
One might imagine that, outside the Western world, there could be discussion, evaluation, and recognition, but that would require people to speak up. For example, the two countries with the most visits to the “Clock of the Unconscious” website are China and Singapore. None of them has ever officially expressed the slightest opinion or asked a single question. Could they have provided an objective evaluation? Yes, but the author is unaware of this.
I thought I could launch an independent evaluation to demonstrate the accuracy of the “Quésako Cycle,” but let’s be serious: it’s not possible to evaluate oneself and acknowledge, all on one’s own, that the “Quésako Cycle” is brilliant and true. The current trend is more toward having loudmouths who confidently assert that all of this is true and doesn’t deserve to be debated since it’s true. And a true scientist is rarely a loudmouth capable of making themselves heard by shouting louder than everyone else.
Today, the author of the “Quésako Cycle” doesn’t know if anyone on earth has understood and appreciated the “Quésako Cycle.” Perhaps it will end up consigned to the dustbin of history. One day, someone will reinvent all of this in a different form. In the meantime, it feels more like a waste of time and makes me want to shut everything down, including this website. The decision will be made sometime in 2027.
We’ll still try to put together an article, though there’s no guarantee it will be published.
Without evaluation and recognition, it’s the death of all these ideas—like the “Quésako Cycle”—which may remain forever unknown. It’s a shame. What will remain is that I understood something I wasn’t able to explain to my contemporaries.
