 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.
