history doesn't exist. at most we have "historiography": the made up mythical tale of the past[3]. why? it's easier to remember[2,4] in oral cultures people just re-adjust their memory, subconsciously[1] in written cultu

yes, but I think they're making fun of me by being sarcastic they imply that my comment is wrong because clearly a blog post can do many things at once: be useful, but also invite the reader to buy more. like drug sellers know and make

clearly I'm downvoted because people find something useful in the blogpost, hence my criticism is rejected. but I see the trends: any time now we will have to pay to watch publicity of this level. I've seen some youtube content wh

an international organizaion does not pass laws in any country. NGOs such as that one (which I admit did not know existed) influence countries into shifting their laws over a long time when I stared coming online, national talk about IP law

"the ABC and the 123" are no longer sufficient. we need the xyz (allusion to algebra) AND the fgh, which stand in for the f(x), the g(y), and the h(z) better known as functions, BUT at the depth of lambda calculi. and yes, for chi

as I said, it's not exactly "parenthesis" with the strictness that real programing needs. in fact, my whole idea has got me on a deep dive into the nature of the decimal point (up to which extent is the decimal point represen

I think this boils down to the capacity to match together parenthesis in a logical-syntax way however, the "parenthesis" can be any symbol. even grammatical clauses are one sort of "parenthesis" in the way I'm think

in my experience, the rigorous pursuit feels like a hamster wheel the real problem is that it moves very fast, so when I've tried jumping into this "wheel", I find it impossible to hold on on to it. I always fly out due to ce

I like to draw a distinction between real and ideal. I insist that math is ideal. it models reality ideally. this distinction is important because otherwise we mix together something, and the ideas and concepts (e.g. symbols and rules) we u

by BSEdlMMldESB 3y ago
hmm, but imagining rules and symbols IS a pure mental activity, isn't it???

by BSEdlMMldESB 3y ago
math describes (fragments) of reality; therefore it is of no consequence if math as itself is "real" or not. it is intended to model whatever "real" even is. somewhat similarly: in modern logical theories whatever "

if the system is sound, then (I think) by definition you cannot prove different (wrong) conclusions. if you derive a different result, by soundness those would be equivalent ???

yes, agree the issue then, is how to decide what "as much as we can" even means; if we do "as much as we can" but this kills us, then it will have turned out that we indeed could not do that much

yes, absolutely! this kind of "compression" is essentially "understanding through theories" where theories are like those from physics which are a lot like stories that explain many things with just the same "charac
