But what isn’t a waste of time, is listening to 1989 Belgian Techno anthem, Pump up the Jam
I once made a belt from old watches, now THAT was a waist of time.
I once knocked over a whole jar of dried herbs in the kitchen, now that was a waste of thyme.
What is this tv show?
Cunk on Britain / cunk on the world
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunk_on_Britain
It is UK specific so that’s why I’d never heard of it
cunk on the world
Cunk on Earth, perhaps?
Nihilism doesn’t matter
I don’t believe in anything, even nihilism!
Eh, I dunno, I think philosophy can be pretty cool.
- Logic and epistemology give us the tools to create proofs and algorithms, and it’s basically the foundation of modern mathematics.
- Having the tools to communicate and understand concepts in ethics makes society more secular (because ethics aren’t just handed down from on high) and hopefully more humane.
- Metaphysics I feel again moves us more toward secularism because it gives us ways to reason about the universe other than just “some big powerful boi did it (and he conveniently thinks you should give me money)”.
the math/philosophy overlap in set theory/logic makes me uneasy. the closer you get to it, the more the idea that “math is objective” starts to fade away. also pretty surreal to be learning philosophy/taking things as given in a math class. especially because you spend a lot of time proving that certain things are true, but you don’t ever say what it means for something to be true.
All roads lead to Rome.
We already know that math isn’t objective due to Godel’s incompleteness theorem
how does that follow from Gödel’s incompleteness theorems?
Godel’s second theory of incompleteness states that a formal system cannot prove its own consistency
I think that’s as close as you can get to “math is not objective”
Philosophy at it’s core can be cool, informative, and even critical.
Most philosophy is fancy bullshit.
Just like anything else creative with a low barrier to entry, 90% is crap. The rest may be corn
Although, that corn may simply be undigested crap.
Of course and then again is being even real
Logic and epistemology give us the tools to create proofs and algorithms, and it’s basically the foundation of modern mathematics.
Not that I disagree, but logic and mathematics have a rocky relationship. We thought we could marry them forever with set theory, but when they asked if anyone objected, Bertrand Russel stood up.
“Waste” doesn’t exist either. And don’t start on that “of” thing.
Maybe both is true, I don’t know
