What a saturday.
Nothing happened.
Till I went for a ride on
my bike.
And then came back and
listened to
dolly parton
crystal gayle
linda ronstadt
doc watson
and
then sitting on my
verandah and playing billy joe shaver songs.
They are dead easy but you
gotta sing 'em right or they sound like shit.
And then rough and rowdy
ways by the doc.
Now thinking about
Russell.
He met Frege at some
railway station in Germany and Frege gazed into the distance and
said,”sometimes time I see it clearly and then I dont”.
Frege had tried to deduce
mathematics from logic and had failed.
then russell gave it a go
and along with Whitehead they thought they had it.
Just when the book was
being published Russell invented his famous paradox. He told Frege
who had not had much of a following at home and Frege who had devoted
his whole life to the search didn't live much longer.
Russell attributed his
succes to Peano who he said had always framed his arguments using a
certain schema and notation.
Russell invented a new set
of terms and notation.
Brilliant.
In a sense his genius was
to find the paradox and later in mathematics itself Goedel went after
it and found it too.
Its everywhere.
you gotta walk that lonesome valley you gotta walk it by yourself.
nobody else can walk it for you.
you gotta walk that lonesome valley by yourself.
Now I am studying his inquiry
into meaning and truth.
After this Russell was
spent but the paradox is the important point of the whole thing.
To understand it you must
first understand the whole argument.
the class of all classes not memebrs of themselves
And trying to read JK
Galbraith too.
It is too esy to skim and
not really absorb the whole argument and if you are like me
opinionated and ready to dismiss any proposition some time by
ignoring it then it is hard work. nnyahhhhhhh
Especially when you have
no money.
What a joke.
Cosmic dude.
But to read Galbraith is
to first understand his terms too.
More frigging work.
What is the point of the
whole thing.
This montsrous apparatus.
Anyway.
Philosophers are impotent
so to protect their egos and their own sense of importance they must
be able to craft curious arguments that baffle interpretation and kep
others at arms length.
Boo hoo.
Better stick to billy joe
shaver..
and just for the creepoids something to tickle their fancy's
I wonder what a philosopher would make of this?
