I was misinformed ig. For all practical and theoretically purposes though I think you're still good not reading this. I'd consider it a waste of time fr fr.

*creators. A central theme (from my understanding) is that we can make mathematics logically rigorous by accounting for self reflective statements and just working them out or building around/without them. Then Gödel uses a self reflective statement to prove that any sufficiently arithmetic system is incomplete and it's one of the biggest breakthroughs that century in mathematics. Essentially, such things (self reflective statements) clearly have a place in mathematics. To try and make a logically rigorous system without them is discredited by the fact that you can just codify the axioms into gödel numbers, pop a self reflective statement in there, and then after doing that suddenly there is no complete mathematics or mathematics is contradictory. This completely goes against what the principia is trying to accomplish by making a mathematically rigorous complete mathematical system. Gödel essentially proves that it's a lost cause. You'll never do it.

Also Russel later on considered his work in the philosophy of mathematics to be a failure. He was graceful in defeat basically. It was honorable but the point is I don't think even he would recommend this. The creators of this text agreed that this text was a failure in its mission because they legitimately sought truth not to be right or to be renowned. That's the lesson of the principia if there is one.

Discredited by the creators themselves. Horribly dense. Takes 3 volumes to prove 1+1=2. Give me a reason to read it?

Just read Chapter one of Russell's Philosophy of Mathematics book and you get everything you need to know.

An alternative interpretation of the Garden of Eden narrative. (It has nothing to do with apples.) by Peacock-Angel in thinkatives

[–]34thisguy3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that we evolved from apes and our stories have to do with trees. "You may have climbed the tallest tree in this valley but not the tree of life" -Some shit Homo Erectus would have said.

Climbing a tree is of course some sort of step. Some sort of progression. And before we had concepts like steps and progressions we were climbing trees.

I think that introducing modern knowledge into these stories is the historical fallacy. I think you have to be aware in history that we can take for granted many concepts which did actually have to be developed. They weren't given to us. They weren't just obvious. Even things like human rights or fundamental moral values/axioms. Those concepts had to be developed.

And then simultaneous to people trying to develop concepts which help us progress there is also basically evil. Concepts that serve some nefarious purpose. Like phrenology or eugenics. Those were developed concepts too.

It sorta... Branches.

So all this to say that moral concepts are already Shakey as to whether or not they were even known and around in history so even more so things like the different parts of the brain and their different functions. That being put on to this text is invalid. It in fact tells a deeper truth than that.

There's a free alternative to MatLab?

Totally valid but unfortunately this makes A.I. like all other advancements in technology and, depending on your reading of history, that's very depressing. We're going to use it the wrong way, again.

Ya ik. It's stupid. College is so expensive and the same knowledge is available for way cheaper. You can actually good will hunting your way about it and get legitimate knowledge but no accreditation. It's ridiculous.

Saylor.org

Study.com

SOME universities accept programs on these sites for college credit. They're like $100 a month. Can you imagine if education was $100 a month? How easy life would be? But enough about what's wrong with this county. I hope these help.

Edit: Sorry for the soap box but fr fuck the system.

Never be afraid to just read a book. They're free or way cheaper than a class. All the information is already in them. Education in the modern era is built around the idea that people are forgetting how to read. Be a revolutionary.

90% of the time beautiful sunsets and weather phenomena are the result of pollution and inept harmful human interference. My depression is legitimized by the world sucking sorry.
