Remember the saying, "Judge not lest you be judged"
You're the one who initiated claims about who is smarter. Should I take advice from you that you're clearly not following yourself?
You want to make the world a better place.
I
have made the world a better place, if only slightly, within the limits of my modest powers.
Why can't you imagine the same of Mills?
I can
imagine the same of anyone, but I see no evidence for it in Mills's case, and much evidence against it. The evidence strongly suggests that he has been making his living for his entire career on a phony free energy scam.
But if that evidence is misleading, and Mills has in fact discovered a method of producing energy for minimal cost and with minimal environmental consequences, he still has not made the world a better place. Quite the contrary, all he has achieved in that case, for decades so far, is to successfully withhold and conceal his discovery from anyone who might otherwise have brought those benefits into actual use.
(Just to show I have a good imagination, I'll admit it's conceivable that Mills is living on a tight budget or on inherited wealth, and secretly funneling most of the money he scams from rich stupid investors to kids in an orphanage somewhere. But in that case he still obviously wants everyone to think he's just a scammer or failed inventor so he can continue that heroic work, so there's no harm in my thinking exactly that. As implausible as that scenario might be, it's more plausible than that he's had a working "but not quite ready for commercial use" secret formula for free energy that no one else in the physical sciences or the energy industry has figured out or discovered independently for three decades.)
You have very little idea about Mills' life, yet you make these unwarranted, very negative, assumptions. No, it doesn't make you smarter, but it might be making you something else.
My conclusions are indeed very negative, but they're amply warranted by the available evidence. If Mills is not a scammer, he has made a concerted effort to resemble one while also failing to produce any results that benefit anyone.
A street sweeper makes the streets and sidewalks a little more sanitary and nicer to walk on. A prostitute provides sexual release for people who might be too insecure, unattractive, lazy, or busy to maintain conjugal personal relationships. A roofer keeps water out of people's indoor living and working spaces. Making the world a better place is not an unusual or particularly difficult accomplishment. The vast majority of people manage it.
All the available evidence indicates that Mills has not.
