blog." Barger also started a weblog called Canon 2.0 on Blogger. The datestamps on both these blogs seem to end in October 2008. Barger posted to a Twitter account as @robotwisdom until 2013. Then he announced continuing twitblogging at a more personal style @bnroj. Artificial intelligence Barger attempts to "map out a programmable taxonomy of human emotions." In the late 1970s, Barger devised a theoretical methodology that demanded hypotheses be expressed as computer simulations, and that the simulations be refined by analyzing literary descriptions of human behavior. He called this method "Robot Wisdom". On James Joyce Barger seeks to establish a "connection between artificial intelligence and the masterworks of James Joyce," whom he refers to as a master of descriptive psychology. He has studied Joyce's notebooks and manuscripts for Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, which in 1994 made him "the only critic who has seriously studied the material aspects of [Joyce's] notebooks." He has also prepared an online "shorter" annotated version of Finnegans Wake. Barger's website has been cited for "extensive research into the Ulysses and Finnegans Wake manuscripts," yet very little of this work has passed academic peer review. As a result, it can sometimes be difficult to tell what is agreed upon by Joyce scholars and what is Barger's conjecture. Barger seemed to acknowledge this when he published his list of "50+ Joycean Conjectures". Barger has contributed one book chapter on Finnegans Wake and a book review in the James Joyce Quarterly.
