something-or-other world, that we took comfort from the fact that dx over dy
for 100 iterations would produce a converging or diverging characteristic; that
a dozen people given concrete starting postulates and a real world proposition,
would all arrive at the same answer. This is the kind of certainty, the kind of
firm ground beneath my feet which contributes in large degree to my continuing
sanity.
This is the mountain on which I and others stand, which I discussed in a few
earlier posts, and on which I wish everyone else could also stand. Paul D
This same argument Paul would apply to most of the people in Nazi Germany
during the reign of Adolf Hitler. It applies still to the billions of people
Under Islam, or catholics under the Vatican.
It might be comfortable to have peers in large numbers, but it certainly is not
certainty or truth..
I wish everybody trusted nothing as certainty examining every cause, not just
the one their upbringing made them comfortable with. Or likwise alternatively
not rejecting that which may have made them uncomfortable.. As they say, he
truth can often hurt.
Philip.

If you studied the history of the anticlerical, antichurch , and anti God
feeling at the time, and saw the difference between their hatred and your easy
going natural antipathy, which they did not have at that time, then you would
more easily understand the weak foundations upon which modern science is built.
I can't speak for others -- what was their motivation, their intent etc --
and in any event they are gone and we must live in the present. I'd like to
share with you an incident which happened to me recently at a bbq. I met and
fell into conversation with a guy who it transpired had been in the past, a
flight engineer on Boeing 747s. I disclosed my past and he observed that, in
contrast to those who live in the metaphysical or quasi-something-or-other
world, that we took comfort from the fact that dx over dy for 100 iterations
would produce a converging or diverging characteristic; that a dozen people
given concrete starting postulates and a real world proposition, would all
arrive at the same answer. This is the kind of certainty, the kind of firm
ground beneath my feet which contributes in large degree to my continuing
sanity.
This is the mountain on which I and others stand, which I discussed in a few
earlier posts, and on which I wish everyone else could also stand.
