I am, or will be, to the #SocialSciences what #IsaacNewton has long been to the #NaturalSciences.

I'm not usually so immodest, but the truth must urgently out, & since I'm the only one who seems to recognise it . .

I could be a crank, of course, but I, at least, don't think so.
If I were to read a tweet from anyone else like the one above, I would immediately assume that they were deluded, some kind of crank. It's the natural & generally right thing to do, so I can hardly blame anyone for doing the same.
It's something of a last resort.

All my modest attempts at gaining attention for my insights & ideas have thus far failed, so I thought I'd try an immodest one. The worst it can do is also fail.

What I really need, of course, is for some eminent academics to sing my praises. 😉
