/lit/ - Literature

>has nothing to tell us
It affects how people behave.

If people think there is true love, or honor for the nation, those are concept of the mind but you get completely different people or actions.
A philosophical argument can change your mind.

>Something is itself

Are you aware of concepts (and difference between the concepts) like well formed formula, proposition, syntactic derivation, semantic truth, derivation rule, logical axiom and axioms of a theory written down in logic and and tautology?

Or

vs.

etc.?

I don't know the pig tunnel?

At the core, people who are religious by choice want guidance. There are several religions and you adopt one that you get to be familiar with. Christianity, in the west, say.
It's futile to logically argue against inconsistency about the setup and background for cultural rituals and behaviors with people who are religious because they want to adopt the moral code. If you change the bible stories but not change the values, you can still create nice church tilings displaying the story and be a kind Christian.

So OP went down this path anyway, for some reason (Probably just a dissonance he sees in having adopted the western value of analytic thought that doesn't work together with his gf's believes).
People are religious for the good aspects of it - what does a logical argument if "god" is nice or harsh change about the rules in the bible? Nothing. It doesn't matter.
I pointed to the Kierkegaard Ethics part for the "JUST have faith" perspective: If you really decide to live like a Christian, you gotta follow god if he speaks to you, not social norms and morals.

>Have people of /lit/ actually studied theoretical physics, advanced logic and pure mathematics in their free-time?
I'm a theoretical physicist, and am coming from the other side. I don't think you need to know advanced physical theories to help you with "understanding of philosophy". You need just to know what formal logic does and how it's used in its many context. Get your own understanding of what math is (because people generally don't agree on that point).

For logic, I liked those online notes
http://www.personal.psu.edu/t20/notes/logic.pdf
but then again, I had a vastly different background when I read it.
Also, understanding what a Turing machine is will be important for you. The existence of a universal machine shocked everybody in the 30's, sadly today everybody has a Turing complete device in his pocket and it's hard to explain to people what's fascinating about it.

Also, 99.99% of all physicists and more than 85% of all mathematicians (or more) wouldn't know what the pic you posted is about
e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weil_conjectures#Statement_of_the_Weil_conjectures
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_sequence#Visualization
It's a famously applicationless field.

Shouldn't the answer be that things are smoother now. If you put more hours in writing, organizing, cleaning and designing, you get better text, saver procedures, cleaner stuff and better to use things. As long as there is left space for improvement of products, 40h weeks won't reduce to 15h weeks because of technology.
