He must know only a tiny few nowadays care about a book on the philosophy of mathematics written 120 years ago. If TDH doesn't understand it, it's probably because he isn't competent to do so. I'm sure there's more to the treatise than the snippets quoted by TDH, though I personally don't see what the problem is with the quoted cites; they seem to make sense, although pretty abstract. Russell did write a book called 'Why I'm Not a Christian.' That one is pretty good. Russell opposed World War I (with its senseless slaughter far greater than anything we see today), and may have gone to jail because of that (not sure.). If TDH wants to read something to help him grasp human nature, I suggest he try Shakespeare's plays.AC/MAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-37351931938872528512021-05-18T12:32:41.059-04:002021-05-18T12:32:41.059-04:00This is why Somerby is arguing that perhaps the fo...This is why Somerby is arguing that perhaps the formal proof that 1+1=2 is suspect:<br /><br />"On Saturday, Trump baselessly alleged that Arizona Senate's election auditors found an "unbelievable Election crime."<br /><br />"The entire Database of Maricopa County in Arizona has been DELETED!" the former President exclaimed in a statement.<br /><br />Maricopa county recorder Stephen Richer immediately demurred Trump's claim as "unhinged."<br /><br />"I'm literally looking at our voter registration database on my other screen," he tweeted.

Those anthropologists long ago concluded that the Olympians were beings without reality.

We who defer will be inclined to assume that it simply must."<br /><br />Somerby doesn't seem to be capable of making sense of things that make sense to other people. I wouldn't suspect madness but dementia, given his age. However, I don't think dementia explains Somerby's statements, but rather sophistry. Somerby has some interest in attacking Russell and other philosophers, and those who write about them. <br /><br />Maybe he is depressed. Maybe he is being paid by the right wing or Russia to undermine the concepts of expertise, authority and the press, freeing readers to accept the nonsense spouted by Tucker Carlson and Q. Somerby might be perfectly sane but also engaged in a disinformation war that benefits only autocrats such as Trump. <br /><br />Math tends to have its own reality to us. If we are given a dollar and then given another dollar, we have two dollars, no matter how much Somerby manages to undermine our faith in Bertrand Russell. A wise person will pay attention to the evidence at hand and disregard Somerby's nonsense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-87562470837349160602021-05-18T10:43:15.564-04:002021-05-18T10:43:15.564-04:00"For ourselves, we decided to turn to the lea..."For ourselves, we decided to turn to the leading authority for a quick overview of Russell's classic text."<br /><br />Who uses Wikipedia as a fact check on Bertrand Russell himself?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-35868945995970381062021-05-18T10:37:37.686-04:002021-05-18T10:37:37.686-04:00"Here at this site, we'd dug out our anti..."Here at this site, we'd dug out our antique copy of Russell's text as an act of renunciation. Our Town's public discourse had reached a point of such vapidity that we found it hard to watch "cable news" or to bother with the foolishness found in our major newspapers."<br /><br />There is something very sad about this paragraph. Somerby says that he is seeking some grounding from the nonsense in the news, but then he proceeds to criticize and ultimately undermine the security found in the texts he wishes to use as reassurance against nonsense. This is self-defeating, even if Somerby did have the capacity to find flaws in Russell's work (he doesn't). <br /><br />What is to be gained by Somerby's exercise in throwing over Russell (much as he tried to do with Godel)? Is it ego enhancement? Is it rejection of authority? Does he perhaps think he can reject some other expert pronouncement by rejecting the notion of expertise? A medical diagnosis perhaps? Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with Russell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-40784847508786325252021-05-18T10:29:19.766-04:002021-05-18T10:29:19.766-04:00"Since we can discuss some entity we have ima..."Since we can discuss some entity we have imagined, it must have some sort of being! Stating the obvious, that passage traffics in a kind of conceptual madness."<br /><br />Here are some things that we imagine and that have some sort of being without actually existing: (1) Santa Claus, (2) God, (3) concepts such as love and freedom, (4) aliens, (5) dragons and unicorns, (6) superheroes and other fictional characters and beings.<br /><br />There is no conceptual madness to imagination. It is only when being and existence become confused that people get into trouble. If I thought that Scrooge McDuck were real instead of fictional, I would have a problem. It would not be "madness" but rather confusion.<br /><br />There is a part of the frontal lobe that engages in "reality testing." We not only make the distinction between the real and imagined, but we have methods for determining what is real and what is not. Am I in love, does my self-image correspond to the way others see me, are my goals realistic? We are constantly evaluating such things using thought processes that serve those purposes.<br /><br />Somerby is behaving today as if he had no notion of how his own mind works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-67547005432883327022021-05-18T09:35:20.245-04:002021-05-18T09:35:20.245-04:00Tsk.
