I’ve been
having an awful urge to break-up with this blog. I have a strong desire to be
with it, but it seems to have become so demanding and laborious to post that I am
feeling… inadequate. I have been thinking about that a lot and all analysis
tells me that I am bored and lazy with this and upcoming posts, but I see them
as key, and I just can’t let myself skip this material over.
Clearly the early parts outlining mathematical logic
are essentially expansions of basic metaphysics we have already absorbed as
parts of logical philosophy. Our authors are expanding the equational
expressions of the bare bones previous treatment. My personal problem here is
not one of understanding the material, but simply taking it into my tired old
brain. Having spent fifty years avoiding any meaningful entanglement with ‘higher’
mathematics I feel like I’ve painted myself into a corner. This subject has definitely
dropped out of my paramount interest, but I still love the material and I
cannot give this blog up just yet. I’m not content with two posts a month, but
that may be all I can handle for awhile.
I’m reminded of a quote from William James I posted
somewhere above but will use again here:
“My dying words to you are “Say good-bye to
mathematical logic if you wish to preserve your relations with concrete
realities!”
Truly yours,
Wm. James

I am studying mathematics to come in closer touch with
ambiguity. Is there anyone with me on this aspect? I see this is the most
rational stairway that western thinkers can use in approaching the North
American shaman mind.
