Difference with other search rankings is that people can get a view that
is freer from corporate self-interest.

Other search engines disagree. On the terms you provided, only 1 of 4
non-Google search engines (I'm discounting Google since there is a
strong possibility of corporate bias in search results) mentioned your
blog on the first page, with the other results dominated by various
institutions' pages.

Because obviously doing a search on a domain portion in the site URL is
going to be *so* unbiased. On the search terms you continually pound on
about... nope, not on the first page.

No no no! What it *clearly* means is that there exists a reality show
called Unrecognized Genius, which is just as I described. Google has
the power to turn ideas into reality. Do you know how Perelman proved
the Poincare conjecture? He googled "Perelman's proof of the Poincare
conjecture" on the Wayforward Machine.

I sure am. In fact I googled "mymath" and what I found must be,
unless you're calling Google a liar, both mine and math. (Ugh. My
tears are so yummy and sweet.)

How extremely stupid of me not to have thought of that.
