Foundations of mathematics
This has been called the foundational crisis of mathematics.
The resolution of this crisis involved the rise of a new mathematical discipline called mathematical logic that includes set theory, model theory, proof theory, computability and computational complexity theory, and more recently, several parts of computer science.

The supposedly pious believer turns out to be a degenerate who needs to lie to online strangers about his Calvinistic god: money. Not shocking. — Lionino
This is the same script run by the clinically online on welfare everytime they are pressed about their non-existant qualifications. — Lionino
The crank cannot solve a simple mental computation that every single person in science and technology learns in their undergrad. — Lionino
And yet he insists that he understands things that would only be taught to people in mathematics post-grad. — Lionino
No one who seriously studies foundations of mathematics is ignorant of nabla and the cross product operator — it is like solving quadratic equations and not knowing how to calculate the area of a triangle. Unserious crank rambling nonsense about a field he hasn't been introduced to. — Lionino
It is a hallmark of severe depression that the present hopelessness draws into itself the part and future, so that it becomes impossible to envision any change from one’s current state. One ceases to be able to remember or anticipate any hopeful state of mind. — Joshs
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/neuroscience-in-everyday-life/201904/can-religion-help-depression
Depression is the second leading cause of disability in the world.
One variable that has been recently explored as a protective factor is religiosity, spirituality.
Interestingly, the group who benefited the most from religiosity was the group at high risk for depression—those who had a depressed parent.
In sum, it seems like religiosity/spirituality may confer resilience to the development/recurrence of depressive episodes in individuals in general and in ones with high risk in specific.
Again, complete gibberish. Gödel has nothing to do with multiverses. — Lionino
Let's see if that post-grad talk about math is backed by undergrad knowledge. — Lionino
In fact , Nietzsche argued in his later works that religion and spirituality are nihilistic, because they represent a negation of life. — Joshs
He believed that only an atheistic revaluation and overturning of all religious, ethical and scientific values, such as the value of truth and goodness, can stave off nihilism. — Joshs

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%B6wenheim%E2%80%93Skolem_theorem
Löwenheim–Skolem theorem
In mathematical logic, the Löwenheim–Skolem theorem is a theorem on the existence and cardinality of models, named after Leopold Löwenheim and Thoralf Skolem.
The precise formulation is given below. It implies that if a countable first-order theory has an infinite model, then for every infinite cardinal number κ it has a model of size κ, and that no first-order theory with an infinite model can have a unique model up to isomorphism.
As a consequence, first-order theories are unable to control the cardinality of their infinite models.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-standard_model_of_arithmetic
In mathematical logic, a non-standard model of arithmetic is a model of first-order Peano arithmetic that contains non-standard numbers.
...
From the incompleteness theorems
Gödel's incompleteness theorems also imply the existence of non-standard models of arithmetic. The incompleteness theorems show that a particular sentence G, the Gödel sentence of Peano arithmetic, is neither provable nor disprovable in Peano arithmetic. By the completeness theorem, this means that G is false in some model of Peano arithmetic. However, G is true in the standard model of arithmetic, and therefore any model in which G is false must be a non-standard model.

“God is dead”: What Nietzsche really meant
Nietzsche was an atheist for his adult life and so he didn’t mean that there was a God who had actually died, but rather that our idea of one had.
Europe no longer needed God as the source for all morality, value, or order in the universe; philosophy and science were capable of doing that for us.
Nietzsche believed that the removal of this system put most people at the risk of despair or meaninglessness.
For some time now our whole European culture has been moving as toward a catastrophe.
Indeed, atheism is on the march, with near majorities in many European countries and newfound growth across the United States heralding a cultural shift.
As many atheists know, to not have a god without an additional philosophical structure providing meaning can be a cause of existential dread.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absurdism
Absurdism is the philosophical theory that the universe is irrational and meaningless.
The three responses discussed in the traditional absurdist literature are suicide, religious belief in a higher purpose, and rebellion against the absurd.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything
A theory of everything (TOE), final theory, ultimate theory, unified field theory or master theory is a hypothetical, singular, all-encompassing, coherent theoretical framework of physics that fully explains and links together all aspects of the universe.[1]: 6 Finding a theory of everything is one of the major unsolved problems in physics.[2][3]
What made you think this? — Tom Storm
How did you arrive at this? — Tom Storm
You're saying that if we rely solely on pure reason to determine the meaning of life, we will conclude that life has no inherent meaning? I wonder if that's the case. I'm not big on pure reason and I came to the conclusion that life has no inherent meaning simply by how it feels and looks to me. — Tom Storm
Seems to me you could make this same argument and simply replace 'national-socialists' with 'socialism' or 'identity politics' etc. — Tom Storm

https://www.hawking.org.uk/in-words/lectures/godel-and-the-end-of-physics
What is the relation between Godel’s theorem and whether we can formulate the theory of the universe in terms of a finite number of principles? One connection is obvious. According to the positivist philosophy of science, a physical theory is a mathematical model. So if there are mathematical results that can not be proved, there are physical problems that can not be predicted.

Guénon — Heracloitus
According to P. Chacornac, Guénon thought that Islam was one of the only real traditions accessible to Westerners, while retaining authentic possibilities in the initiative domain.
In 1930, Guénon left Paris for Cairo, where he met with Abdalhaqq-Léon Champrenaud, and Abdalhadi Alaqhili, formerly known as John-Gustaf Aguéli, to be initiated into a Sufi order of Islam. When he arrived, his outward behavior had changed and he had completely immersed himself in the popular Islamic milieu of the city.
Although the exposition of Hindu doctrines to European audiences had already been attempted in piecemeal fashion at that time by some orientalists, Guénon's Introduction to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines advanced its subject in a uniquely insightful manner,[12] by referring to the concepts of metaphysics and Tradition in their most general sense, which Guénon precisely defined.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_class
Common definitions for the middle class range from the middle fifth of individuals on a nation's income ladder, to everyone but the poorest and wealthiest 20%.
Terminology differs in the United States, where the term middle class describes people who in other countries would be described as working class.
Friedrich Engels saw the category as an intermediate social class between the nobility and the peasantry in late-feudalist society. While the nobility owned much of the countryside, and the peasantry worked it, a new bourgeoisie (literally "town-dwellers") arose around mercantile functions in the city.
No, it was doing fine, as clerics, crafters and army officers. — Vera Mont
And, no, the middle does not disappear; it usually prospers. Gets bigger and smaller, mostly due to the volume of commerce and definition. — Vera Mont
