A Prologue for Philosophical Justice


                                            A Prologue for Philosophical Justice  

       The intuitive convention of an essay on the matter of society is profound, yet subtle. Just as the intuitive ambiance of the typical philosophical essay regarding cultural and social norms is conventional; the mathematician desires an essay which ought to include short, simple and yet descriptive equations.

   Philosophical inquiry begins with a fascination and typically ends when a passionate and eccentric man descends into madness. The archetypical notions of good and evil, poor and rich, sane and mad, all originated in the mind of man. He is so often incorrect; the villain often tries to counter the truly malevolent individuals in this life.

   The artists sees the meaning in his work yet the philosopher seeks the meaning in the world. The world is a beautiful piece of art when it is void of human beings. Human beings are creatures which have done tremendous evils and tainted this wonderful world. The job of the scientist is to destroy the notion of purpose in this world. The philosopher simply rebuilds a new just case for purpose. The truth is that human beings are monsters.

    I have decided that I would like the task of apologizing on behalf of my entire cohort of the species of human beings. The introduction, attempts to do the latter. It acts as a homage to the intellectualism which has all but passed away. Through previous generations and through many decades there has been a new, counter intellectualism movement of distraction. Youth has slowly diverged their interests and hobbies, much can be accredited to mainstream media outlets as well as the death of true journalism.

    As theological apologists try to defend the notion of a personal god, they do so in incorrect ways and, ironically, for incorrect reasons.                                                  

     Perhaps for many scholars, it might be very difficult to use the two words, “truth” and “mathematics” together in one sentence. Many great individuals have attempted to formalize the field of pure mathematics. Through history for every individual who might thank the few, great geniuses of ancient Greece such as Euclid and Pythagoras; there are many more school children who curse their names every day in class. This document deals with substantially rigorous issues which are deeply connected to: ontology, epistemology, and, existentialism.

   Today, individuals rarely study mathematics purely to gain knowledge. The field of pure mathematics has nearly been extinguished for a number of reasons. There exist too many deep unsolved problems in the universe which scientists often overlook or dismiss archaic knowledge of the past which shall prove to be useful. Just as Nietzsche proclaimed the death of god hundreds of years ago (1882); so today, justly, I shall pronounce the death for the appreciation of formal abstract thought. This sacred appreciation was killed by commercialism and poor culture.

For the few common themes sprinkled into the works of the most revolutionary pieces of art written by the artists in the west; the existentialists bears the weight of the purpose of the entire anthropic reasons as to why life exists in such a bleak universe.

  Those who posit the questions of the society of their time deserve praise because of their own ability and choice to view their personal lives in general terms to apply to many. The philosopher refuses to live in a box which he cannot escape. The intuitive convention of an essay on the matter of society is profound, yet subtle. Just as the intuitive ambiance of the typical philosophical essay regards cultural and social norms to be conventional; the mathematician desires an essay which ought to be complex and colorful yet include quaint and elegant equations. However it is still apparent that, historically, nothing significant has changed in the time since the lights of: Plato, de Montaigne, Locke, Hume, Rousseau, Dostoyevsky, Spinoza, Goethe, Emerson, Kant, Voltaire, Pascal, Descartes, Nietzsche and so many more. It appears that the predictions of the most pessimistic geniuses have almost been fulfilled. Very few philosophers have examined the tremendous ironies in the lifetime of a mortal being. Esotericism is not mysterious enough to explain irony. This universe is imperfect, with or without lifeforms to take up space in the time. Mathematics on the other hand is perfect, clean cut and of sacred accuracy. 

Albeit temporary, humans have sought true purpose in a universe void of any substantial meaning. The more unfortunate fate of the universe on a grander, cosmological scale could instill fear into any creature.

  If scientists could realize that:

  • The physiology of human beings is connected to the mind (i.e. intuition).
  • There is more in the realm of biology than just pink tissue (e.g. the origins of consciousness).   

And that the universe (which can be one of many) branches off so many times in a QM manner. However it also divides on a macro level. The rational logic of our universe (i.e. induction) is not only different but inadequate. The ambition to show the notion that our universe does not do justice to mathematics will be very difficult. We are creatures who live in a physical universe with brains inside of a head not a mind. We were supposed to live in universe as minds which full of brains.

  History becomes too redundant. Thanks to the emergence of new technologies we are able to once again alleviate the work load. This was the purpose of simple machines and well over one thousand- five hundred years later mental work shall soon become a task of the past for the humans.

    Trying to catch the point of this post. If I could decipher it well (otherwise can you clarify), the idea is that the light of pure maths would have been lost... in this world. Uh, in which world please ? There are billions of humans on this planet and they are not all the same with respect to this issue. There still exist many mathematicians, whose life can be pretty much invested in pure maths. Pure maths is crucial in theoretical physics as well, though many ignorant people pretend otherwise (see essays I listed on this topic: http://settheory.net/fqxi ). But I understand you may have missed this if you spent more time listening to academic philosophers, whose mind is not so close to pure maths even if the "philosophy of mathematics" is their official topic - as if it was then they would have effectively become mathematicians instead of philosophers.

      @Sylvain Poirier- Thank you for this comment. To clarify, the gist of this essay was to illustrate the motivations for philosophical inquiry as introduced “The intuitive convention of an essay on the matter of society is profound, yet subtle. Just as the intuitive ambiance of the typical philosophical essay regarding cultural and social norms is conventional; the mathematician desires an essay which ought to include short, simple and yet descriptive equations.”
      I iterate a number of points with contradictory messages “The world is a beautiful piece of art when it is void of human beings...world.”-both of these essentially say the same thing. “The job of the scientist is to destroy the notion of purpose in this world.”- this is not supposed to be a negative reflection of scientists. I meant it to be sobering reminder that scientists are objective whether we like it or not. “The philosopher simply rebuilds a new just case for purpose.” -Meaning that, like a lot of others philosophers see what they want to see (sadly). The truth is that human beings are monsters. (this is redundant).
      “...Youth has slowly diverged their interests and hobbies, much can be accredited to mainstream media outlets as well as the death of true journalism.” - I am trying to speak on (not only academic issues) but issues of intellectualism (i.e. sociology, history, anthropology, etc.). I think that today (and for decades generations are drifting from all forms of important issues).
      “...Just as Nietzsche proclaimed the death of god hundreds of years ago (1882); so today, justly, I shall pronounce the death for the appreciation of formal abstract thought. This sacred appreciation was killed by commercialism and poor culture.”
      “For the few common themes sprinkled into the works of the most revolutionary pieces of art written by the artists in the west; the existentialists bears the weight of the purpose of the entire anthropic reasons as to why life exists in such a bleak universe.” - This was a (poetic) sociological point.
      “...Mathematics on the other hand is perfect, clean cut and of sacred accuracy.”
      The above was to restate that, today many people do not want to think deeply, they wish to believe misinformation. True information is rare and maths is perfect. Most of philosophy requires knowledge of deep history, psychology, sociology, politics.
      “...connected to the mind (i.e. intuition).
      There is more in the realm of biology than just pink tissue (e.g. the origins of consciousness).”
      The above was to make a point of doubt; perhaps metaphysics is important after all. Science would see ‘faith’ as being silly. I ask ‘is it properly understood?’. There are things that are not yet understood, we must de-mystify some pieces of academia.
      FInally
      I think that we do not yet fully understand the most abstract ‘things’ in the universe. I think that it shall be noble and valiant to try to fully comprehend gravity, mathematics, infinity, free will, etc. and that it is not a waste of time.

On Competence

      On Competence In the past I have heard one proclaim that modern society is based off of some hierarchy of competence. The proposed idea seems straightforward and quite intuitive. In this post, I would like to contest the conjecture. Albeit I think that, perhaps there may be some validity to the proposition. I would like to make the proclamation that I am not opposed to the idea and think that competence mixed with ‘healthy’ competition is a positive thing. When anyone is given an equal opportunity to display his/her competence then a society shall be worthwhile and have something of value to a finite planet.   I would like to state that as foolish as theism is I deem so called ‘scholars’ such as Jordan Peterson as apart of (what has been coined) the “Intellectual Dark Web” in a new movement that has been spreading. One point (of many) that is brought up by this ‘friend’ that the Nazis were so successful due to the swift and eff...

A Response to Tom Bartlett’s “Has Consciousness Lost Its Mind?”

        A Response to Tom Bartlett’s “Has Consciousness Lost Its Mind?” On June 6, 2018 Thomas Bartlett wrote an article for The Chronicle cleverly and ironically titled “Has Consciousness Lost Its Mind?” the expanded title is a bit more extensive (and does not really roll off the tongue) “ What would Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra, a very friendly robot, plus a bevy of scientists, mystics, and wannabe scholars do at a fancy resort in Arizona? Perhaps real harm to the field of consciousness studies, for one thing. ” The article is an attempt to showcase the absurd, circus-like show of a conference that pretends to be serious. The Conference held in Tucson, Arizona biannually, The Science of Consciousness is spreading misinformation thanks to a bunch of ammatuer scholars, many of whom have their own theories for contending theories for some all encompassing ‘theory of everything’. These amateurs are deluded that they shall, one ...

New Intellectualism

     It used to be the case that outside of the world of academia there was seldom serious work done in realms such as physics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics.For a large majority of time, realms such as mathematics and physics have been reserved and exclusively been explored by professional scientists. Through the past several decades it seems as though there have been many others (whom are, at times involved in other professional affairs) that have decided to pursue their hobbies. In part, due to the age of the internet and other technologies, information is widely accessible.     Problems such as the "measurement problem", "the mind-body problem" and the "hard problem of consciousness" (Chalmers, 1995) are no longer issues that can only be worked on by professional scholars. The above mentioned allows for a professional academic's worst nightmare- crackpots. Unfortunately, the past several decades have given rise to both pseudo-intellectuali...
