What is the relation between the practicality of Base 10 and the necessity of The Law of Identity? — Monist

You'll have to excuse me. I'm not well versed in Logarithms or the Law of Identity.

Can you explain why you gave the example of our counting system? I completely miss the point. — Monist

I guess i was just fed up of laymen's evoking of mathematical mysticism in philosophy.

Instead of 'apple' try 'thing'. Saying "a thing" while pointing at the thing does not explain why the thing identical to the thing. It does not explain the relation between the thing and the thing. x=x does, it simply tells that the thing, is itself. The point is, why? — Monist

Such as the above statement/s for example.

Mathematics is one of those things social scientists came up with to keep people from getting bored with life in a modern society. So are science, and other branches of story telling. Things to aim for. Go to school, Get a degree. Get a Job. Don't get bored so soon.

The Law of Invoking Sense? — Per Chance

Which i believe is a natural law.

The Law of Invoking Sense?

I know that, proving 1+1=2 is hard
— Monist

Well, no, it isn't.

Well, it was much harder for Russell and Whitehead, PA did not satisfy me for many reasons. — Monist

You might be interested in the idea of why we have a system of counting to ten, switch, then repeat because we have 10 fingers.

The Law of Identity is quite easy to understand.

x^2 > x. I get your point.

The thing doesn't necessarily have to resemble itself. I've often mistaken giant squids for snails.

Imagine you are an extension of the combination of your mom and dad's DNA. Imagine no soul, or spirit.

The Open Society and Its Enemies, Karl Popper.

This is boring.

The Hero and The Villain are one and the same. Only they "Grew up" under different circumstances or say, suffered from different Mental Cramps as they grew up and once they grew up.

Of course! I've been wanting to discuss the movie The Dark Knight on an intellectual forum for so long. Now since i don't know yet everything psycho-analytical that often Hollywood movies employ to gain audience. I'm probably not willing to share my pseudo-analytical points. But Kudos, We have a lot of psychoanalytical texts that may or may not be pseudo. In which circumstances, I would like to suggest you zizek.

I swore an oath to uphold a Wittgensteinian view regarding philosophy
— Per Chance

Which view is that? I'm curious. — softwhere

The view that all philosophical problems are linguistic problems.

Thus we now meet the view very usually taken of the history of Philosophy which ascribes to it the narration of a number of philosophical opinions as they have arisen and manifested themselves in time...This history, considered only as the enumeration of various opinions, thus becomes an idle tale, or, if you will, an erudite investigation...If the history of Philosophy merely represented various opinions in array, whether they be of God or of natural and spiritual things existent, it would be a most superfluous and tiresome science...

Later in the text, after being told that philosophy evolves toward the truth, we find that

the study of the history of Philosophy is the study of Philosophy itself, for, indeed, it can be nothing else.

excluding those that write also psychoanalysis and hegelese — softwhere

If you successfully made sense of the quotes above, you already know Hegelese. — softwhere

I was halfway through zizek's hegelese/less than nothing when my ADHD medication was cut off. For which i have my mother, father and the pompous psychiatrist to blame who probably/authentically thought he has the right to decide what i am into or onto. He said when i am into software engineering i have no right to also study philosophy along with it. Hence no, I can't say for sure i know hegelese or least hegel through zizek. And no, i was referring to zizek when i said psychoanalysis.

Personally, i'm just a brick lifter.

I don’t have ADHD and I don’t take anything anyone says too seriously - philosopher or otherwise (to be honest I’m inclined to pay less attention to most philosophers, yet find philosophies interesting play things) — I like sushi

Sure thing. I find your insight helpful.

Oh, wait.... Grammar.

Isn't it a rule of articulation not to articulate our thoughts in a sentence beginning with a because? And also why is that?

Why not. — armonie

Elementary.

Thanks for your kind replies.

Guess i'll just leave for now. These fields are no fodder for an ADHD Mind.
