Maths owes nothing to philosophy. If the pythagoras theorem has been developped by independent cultures like egyptians and chinese, with independent philosophical traditions, then it must be that mathematics is independent from philosophical word masturbation.

This is just a picture representing the decline of Western thought from rationalism and the profound, into the empirical, utilitarian, and low. Those turtles are means to an end, not an end in themselves, they are not truth, they are not The Turtle, they are secondary turtles.

Egyptians and the Chinese learned it from the Greeks. Linear time is a hylic cope.

I've read philosophy for fun for about a decade now. Chinese philosophy will let you become spiritually immortal through specific meditation practices where you gather an excessive amount of chi into the Lower Dantien. Turning your body into yang chi is how you do it. It happens naturally at death assuming you've met the necessary amount of time in meditation while alive, and done the necessary practices.

If I tell this to most people they won't 'believe it' as they literally cannot comprehend it. Even educated people, particularly in STEM fields. The funny part is that belief has no bearing on what physically happens. For example, my belief in calculus doesn't affect the calculations.

So I'd say the top part is still accurate seeing as the supermajority of people will at one point in their lives wonder what happens after death. Whereas very few people will at one point in their lives wonder what happens if you misinterpret Game Theory.

>>23158241 is 100% correct, if anything it is the other way around: philosophy is hugely in debt to math. For most of the history of philosophy the golden standard of philosophical argument was derived from euclid's elements.
