/sci/ - Science & Math

To filter those not worthy of initiation out during the undergraduate process and graduate applications so that the resources of the Few can be used to teach students who truly possess the Gift and the drive to develop it.

Eventually we begin to teach the true analysis, the logic from which being unfolds, the analysis that is the dialectical progression of being coming to know itself as its self through fractal geometries of reification and sublation. The truth of A = A, the wave of infinite amplitude and infinite frequency, the pregnant silence of the Pleroma, and its identity as the Absolute- this knowledge must be held close.

What philosophy do you know?

Hegel's project doesn't make sense without some understanding of Kant, and he is also highly influenced by Greek thinkers and Greek culture in general (classical, not contemporary). Heraclitus was a big influence despite not having much survive.

Hegel was also very influenced by Pietism and mysticism, particularly Jacob Boehme. Boheme inspired an argument or God from logical necessity, being springing from the contradiction of pure undefined being and nothingness. For Boehme, God evolved through time, the world helped create God, including Man.

Just as Eckhart said the Father cannot be without the Son, so God needs other minds to define Itself.

Knowing the philosophy is key to getting into the mathematics because the formalism is incredibly abstract and you need to learn category theory.

You're not going to have the will for powering through to pic related without realizing why so many people find Hegel (and Pierce) as absolutely key to building better sciences.

But for a solid rec, read Terrance Deacon's Steps to A Science of Biosemiotics. It's online free. You'll get a crash course in Shannon Entropy and information theory, which you absolutely need, Karmagorov Complexity, etc. and how this links to Boltzmann Entropy and the definition of and evolution of life.

He goes into Pierce too.

Then if idealism seems like total nonsense, read Donald Hoffman's The Case Against Reality. It might not convince you to be an idealist, it didn't for me. But it will likely convince you that Hegel's project is still very relevant.

Invest all your time into category theory

I don't get why I never learned of Hegelian Tacos in math class.

Here is the rest. I have to admit I got lost further on, but I am intrigued. Also strangely hungry from pic related lol.

could applying category theory to hegel be the secret to solving the mind body problem?
