seething materialists

>The Soviet historian I. Y. Depman claimed that even earlier, in 1486, Spanish mathematician Valmes was burned at the stake for claiming to have solved the quartic equation.[3] Inquisitor General Tomás de Torquemada allegedly told Valmes that it was the will of God that such a solution be inaccessible to human understanding.[4] However Beckmann, who popularized this story of Depman in the West, said that it was unreliable and hinted that it may have been invented as Soviet antireligious propaganda.[5] Beckmann's version of this story has been widely copied in several books and internet sites, usually without his reservations and sometimes with fanciful embellishments. Several attempts to find corroborating evidence for this story, or even for the existence of Valmes, have failed.[6]

How the fuck would they even solve a quartic more than five hundred years ago?

[Anonymous No.10599587]

>>10599584
The solution involves reducing the quartic and then solving an intermediate cubic with Cardano’s formula

[Anonymous No.10599595]

>>10599584
the formula for solving the cubic, quartic, and quadratic have been known since the 16th century

Materialists think anything that is true can be observed. It’s self refuting bull shit though

[Anonymous No.10599757]

>>10599741
By your definition marxists cannot be materialists then, since they hold metaphysical axioms regarding the outcome of history. Feel free to show how materialism refutes itself, tho

oh no no no

You just did it for me. Materialism says that all truths can be observed. That is a truth statement that cannot be confirmed through observation. I’m sorry you’re a brainlet.

Marx's result - materialistic history (as opposed to voluntarism) - is pretty big.

[Anonymous No.10599959]

Not sure if it's materialism, but every observation confirms that truth.

[Nigger Faggot No.10599968]

>>10599959
How so?

[Anonymous No.10600004]

>>10599968
Because the observation is in accordance with the claim.

[Nigger Faggot No.10600012]

>>10600004
What claim? The claim that all truths can be observed? The only way you could prove that to be true is if you knew all truths.

[Anonymous No.10600060]

lotsa good stuff going on in here, but we need a schizo to talk about the CTMU

No, truths being observable doesn't provide instant omniscience out of nowhere.
