    (from twitter ‘dispute’)

    I can teach anyone to evaluate art. This is the overview of the method from the course presentation. With practice you can judge any work, set of works, movement, civilizational works, and speak of them intelligently and recognize when you must say “i don’t know enough” on one hand, and ‘i like it’ (or not) on the other. Art is a craft like any other. You may not like Shakespeare, Joyce (understandably), Hemmingway, or Dickens (oddly) or Michener, Ludlum, Forsythe, or the female equivalent, any other set of authors, but it’s possible to intelligently say why; same for food; same for art. Otherwise, you’re just saying “i don’t like math” and ” i like comedies”. Because how you feel about art is a measure of YOU, not the art.YES IT IS EASY TO JUDGE ART, JUST LIKE WRITTEN OR ACTED WORKS

    NO. MATH IS TRIVIAL. THAT’S WHY ITS USEFUL.

    At present, aside from testimony and reciprocity I think I understand this problem (mathematical foundations) better than anyone else, for reasons I’m still … exasperated by.

    Math is a language. It consists of one dimension: positional names. Positional names consist of one constant relation: position (ordinality). Names are unique. Positional names are unique. Positions are scale independent. Positional names can be assigned to any referent in any dimension. We can assign names to any set of dimensions, just as we assign names to any set of referents within it, and as such we can used dimensional order or name, and position order or name, to describe ANY CONSTANT RELATIONS at any scale or combination of scales relative to the observer, and we can scale this technique of dimensional and positional names to any comprehensible scale.

    So it’s not that math is unreasonably useful, it’s that it’s fucking OBVIOUSLY useful in describing the natural world, because like the natural world mathematics is SIMPLE (consisting of constant relations). However, like anything else, we learn it’s constitution by it’s failure. And mathematics is terrible at inconstant relations (economics, sentience), and at that point of failure we must move from positional (linear) language (averages) to operations language (discrete operations).

    So for example, as far as I know, the reason that physics is frozen is Einstein published before Hilbert solved the underlying problem by Einstein NOT solving the problem of the underlying structure, by the presumption that the wave (calculus) was the primitive, rather than the operations that averaged into the wave – demonstrating that Einstein like many mathematicians understood the application of the language of mathematics without understanding it’s construction relative to ALL languages.

    In fact, if I had my druthers, I would have people learn the abacus, the gear, the computer, and the shape to learn mathematics, not just memorization by wrote repetition.

    Welcome to continue this but it’s not possible that I’m wrong.

    Foundations of language of which mathematics is the simplest because it consists of only one property, and our brains evolved to grasp the world as spaces first by very similar (geometric) means, an understanding of which usually awes the audience.

    Art is yet another means of communication with decoration valued over utility where one can lie, testify, opine, or fantasize, because that is the range of human communication.

    I don’t make errors. Ever.

    If any statement in psychology, social science, law, ethics, politics, is incompatible or in conflict with those laws, then it’s false.

    @DegenRolf There are a limited number of dimensions of group competition: (n) Predation( mongols, islam), parasitism (gypsies, jews, russia, south america), production and trade (germanic european), production and autarky (france, eastern europe, india, china, japan).

    in famous words: “That’s not an argument.”
    You can think some alternative is possible, but then you’d have to make an argument for the alternative. Usually it’s christian luancy or anarchist lunacy or marxist lunacy.

    There is a reason the left developed social construction. It’s because the left’s reality is social and verbal, not empirical and analytical. It’s that they are INCAPABLE of empirical analytical, reciprocal, concepts. They just WANT. WHich is what primitive females did to animate primitive males. The difference is we aren’t getting sex in return from liberals. They have nothing to sell. 😉

    THE PROBLEM IS THE NOTION OF ‘PHILOSOPHER’
    Priests beg with comforting lies.
    Philosophers sell with appealing lies.
    Jurists(Scientists) TELL with Decidability whether you like it or not.
