Seems like a lot of effort went into typesetting this, wow! I can recommend "Calculus: Basic Concepts for High Schools" by the same author (L.V. Tarasov) to anybody unfamiliar with calculus: https://archive.org/details/TarasovCalculus/page/n1/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/TarasovCalculus/page/n1/mode/2up. It's written as a dialogue between author and reader.

Learning calculus in high school made me question everything. You can never measure anything, never mind the area of a circe using calculus. It will only ever be a "good enough" measurement. There is a point where all of you will finally come to appreciate the limits of rationalism and materialism and let go a bit more.

  You seem to have misunderstood the essence of calculus. Calculus provides efficient, high quality estimates for messy real world phenomena. Calculus put a man on the moon and a camera next to Pluto.

I am not saying the illusion is not useful, but all the things that come out of it are also inside the illusion. What if Pluto is not as far away as we actually think it is?

      Generally we think things are far away when it takes a longer time to get to them. We have some reasonable assurance that the speed of light is immutable and so we can measure the distance in our frame of reference by bouncing light off of Pluto. Are you nerd sniping sir?

        I am making the distinction of what we perceive to be reality to actual reality. Distance is a human concept. The moment we stop thinking distance does not exist. It may be a limitation that we perceive distance as something to be overcome through rocket ships and not through other methods. Time is also in the same category. If you want to read a good book on the topic read “the end of Time quote by Jason Barbour.

      I have thought it was interesting that, Christians believe, God became human and of all the things in the universe he could choose to teach about, apparently more than anything it is all about love (of a particular kind, actually).

This seems to have the hallmarks of LaTeX, meaning: not as much time sunk into "typesetting" as you might think ;)
