Reading the article made me think that this is how medical doctors work. All diseases are codified and symptoms are errors. Doctors try to match the error to the error code and take action by prescribing codified medications.

I believe loaded words like "subconscious" make it difficult to come up with new explanations. It's interesting that when the body is happy and relaxed the mind is not aware of it. So there seems to be a continuous struggle b

It is surprising that the exact mechanism of this behavior is not known. It must be related to habits. To the microbiome where most of our decisions are made. Would like to know more about how to leave out the conscious mind. I notice that

> If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to profit off of their neighbors... But why are they calling this process "evolution"? This is symbiosis not evolution.

Still I don't get it. There are two creatures, the caterpillar and the butterfly. Which one came first?... Complete metamorphosis is a circular process as pictured here: http://burns-classroom.weebly.com/module-6-plants

> ...wormlike critters with plump bodies and many tiny legs. So they are saying, “wormlike” insects ie, not the butterflies, but caterpillars came first. That’s how I read it.

by nyc111 8y ago
I couldn’t understand exactly but do they assume that the caterpillar came before the butterfly and butterfly evolved from the caterpillar? If so is there evidence for such an assumption?

I'm happy to notice that mathematics is no longer confined to academic journals. Anyone can contribute at any level. I wish a similar destruction of academic walls to other fields, especially physics.

I think you are being sarcastic, but I happen to agree with you that there are lots of physics theories based on spherical cow assumption.

Yes, I agree. He theologian's knowledge is definite in the sense of absolute. But knowledge gained in the lab is definitely knowledge under given circumstances, but absolute kndwledge. This turned out to be a good example about the imp

You are right of course, generally they don’t but at least one philosoper I know of wrote a dictionary: https://history.hanover.edu/texts/voltaire/volindex.html But I think definitions are in the foundation of phi

Thanks for the references. I could only find this online which looks similar to what you have by the same authors: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/journals/JIS/VOL15/Caldwell2/cald6.p... Looks very interesting.

> In my education, we were taught matrix inversion a full year before calculus. Thanks for correcting that. I need to find a better example. What I’m trying to say that is that, the academia or scholasticism teaches you a set curriculum.

The referenced article mention this in passing without giving a reason. But didn't Pythgoras use musical whole number ratios like 2:1, 3:2 and 4:3?If so he must have considered 1 and 2 to be numbers.

If the goal is to try to understand nature, make your own curriculum. Most people, myself included, initially believe the physics hype and believe that by studying academic physics they will gain new understanding of nature. I believe this

Ok, thanks for giving details. But these can be classified more like engineering issues. I don't know if you agree.

I'd like to say that Mach's Science of Mechanics is a timeless book and I would recommend to anyone who hopes to like physics. It's so different than modern textbooks. You get the feeling of learning new things as he explains
