NUMBERS
It's been a very long time since my last post.
I realise I hadn't posted because I was far too busy sorting thoughts.
I have a lot of time for thinking in my life.
That a polite way of saying that my life is rather empty.
In my thinking, I have come up with a lot of answers, a lot of thought that goes nowhere, and most importantly new questions.
This isn't intended to sound important, just a good brain dump to the public.
Remember in school how we were alwars forced to non-interactively remember things without any applicable context in awful conditions?
Being taught what to think rather than how to think?
Alloweing school to interfere with education?
Especially Math.
Most of us couldn't stand math. It was "hard", difficult, and mostly useless. not fun or cool.
It has taken me over a decade of unlearning to find an aspect of math that makes me want to learn.
and here it is:
Math is a universal translator and language.
It is the ultimate Quantifier.
Every great philosophy or understanding relates things to other things.
Ratios, proportion, algorithms.
We use math to understand the workings of everything on a fundamental and simple level.
It allows us to relate, to create.
Religeons all seem to have 'magic' numbers.
A basis of understanding fundamental things through a numbering system.
And speaking of which, has anyone figured out a patterning to may posts herein?
Just food for though.
I hope it can be appreciated.
