This has been proven to be a lie ,man does not use a tiny portion of his brain.
Go back to your neurology Textbook and study how the brain works
does the average man use a hundred percent of his brain power?
Christianity Etc › Re: My Last Supper On Nairaland by plessis: 8:46pm On Mar 24, 2018
according to science, man only uses a tiny portion of his brain capacity. How can man create an absolute system with his limited thinking?....if he uses his full brain power, will he create an improved system or agree that this particular system of axioms is absolute?

How can 'Logic' be inconsistent and still be called Logic? How can anything be in concord and also be in disagreement? What do you mean by logic is inconsistent? Or you mean that it is not a basis for validity(realness) of facts?
There are so many reasons why logic is inconsistent. The fact that it is a systematic type of reasoning created by the limited human already limits it...there are so many paradoxes that we have discovered due to this patternized system of reasoning.

But let me help you, go and take a crash course on axiomatic set theory..... And understand why and how a system of axioms cannot be consistent and be complete at the same time.... And why logic, a system of axioms, is not enough to validate itself.


Logic is not the absolute...

Sapiosexuality:
Why isn't logic enough in that case? If you say something is infinitely perfect but seeks perfection isn't there a contradiction in your statement? How does anyone know that something that is unknowable with the five sense is unknowable?
first, logic is inconsistent. Secondly, forget the religious folks, we do not have an idea of the creator. Thirdly, I mentioned belief.....belief is the first step and a major ingredient for knowledge..... Electricity, gravity and other phenomenas were all unknowable before the human mind used belief and inquisition to take that step into the unknown. every discovery were at some point a belief.

In my posts?
you concluded that making deductions from certain premises on the chritian God led to contradtions. And i'm simply telling you that logic is not enough and might even be the wrongest tool to study what is inaccessible to our 5 senses.

Sapiosexuality:
I honestly don't understand your point.
you made a logical argument on the perfection of God and i was telling you that logic isnt enough to validate itself and to check for its consisteny, not to talk of making logical conclusions on certain concepts that we have zero approach for rational study.

for now, we will not know the purpose of life. All Thanks to organized religion and european expansionism for destroying the ancient knowledge which was mostly intertwined to spirituality....now all knowledge we have is aimed at making us soldiers/slaves for the blind aimless crawling centipede called society.

I won't be surprised if the Op has people who believe in his nonsense.
shut up your mouth and go starch your clothes for tomorrows church service. Your pastor needs money to send his children to the best universities. ...i'm sure you dont want the wrath of the your God to befall you for robbing him.

Nice theories. Been following. For me, the story of hell is a simple reason the deeds of religions fall flat. The idea that a good God will burn antagonists in a pit forever for just disobedience contradicts the idea of goodness.

But for me, the most telling and revealing is, if the maker is as perfect as the religions make us believe and possessor of all Omnis, creating us contradicts these appellations. And once it is contradicted, every idea of this being dwarfs.

Creating man would be to satisfy a need and once this gap is in any creator, then that creator is still seeking perfection. If it is seeking perfection that simply means it will experience change and if it experiences change, it can't be the uncaused cause and what is the bane of these religions?

Like you wrote, I agree that transmutation of energy and application of forces at different vibrational frequencies is what the miracle workers in religion confuse for spiritualism. I also agree that a God that craves worship, jealous, unforgiven, etc., cannot be the one.

We are more like robots implanted in them Artificial Intelligence. We may show flashes of freewill but at subatomic basest level, we are been controlled. That's what I feel. The thing is, like Sony in the movie I-Robot, some of us try to break out of the system.

I have no doubts in my mind that this is a Control System. (Listen to the Album Control System By the rapper Ab-Soul to get what I'm painting). See how corrupted the world today is? There are cures for AIDS and Cancer but those who run the corporations that run the world won't let them out.

I have a question for you. Does enlightenment really make you happy and how? I mean the shedding of untruths, the reality that the people are controlled, the knowledge that we are just pawns in the hands of some high-tech beings, etc? How do you live happily with knowledge of the untruths, ignorance, wickedness and why there is so much suffering in the world?
it is foolishhness to make conclusions on life, the universe and other concepts that are currently beyond our mental and physical reach using logic, a patternized system of reasoning. For logic itself is inconsistent and can be contradictory sometimes. Two major requirements for knowledge are truth and belief. Infact, belief begets knowledge. Forget the atheists who constantly mock christians. Belief is healthy. We can work with belief in our search for God and the purpose of life.

Not all of us don't know these..... however this thread is meant for learning not show off(forgive me).
Beginners should learn too, they need it more!



Cheers!
nobody is showing off.


I'm only concerned that this group that is meant to be a colloquium for mathematicians has turned out to be a homework assistance group.

When you step up, you'll discover that there are so many pure mathematicians like you who have avoided this thread because of what it has become.
Education › Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by plessis: 12:13am On Mar 24, 2018
lordbeans:
These are advanced courses in graduate school by some pure Mathematicians (key words some pure mathematicians). This means they are decent pure mathematicians whose area of research interests is different from the aforementioned interests; examples are number theorists, functional analysts , etc. Now these excludes applied mathematicians. Mathematics is very broad, and since we have limited life time, it is almost impossible for one to be knowledgeable or proficient in all areas (well apart from David Hilbert and Leonhard Euler- Mathematics was not as broad then as it is now).

If you are really interested in these areas (which I extremely doubt- no curious mind will want to punch down on harmless and useful nairalanders ) you can visit forums like Mathematics StackExchange, MathOverflow and Quora, rather than diving into a thread and harassing people who have taking the pain to squeeze out time from their tight schedule to provide answers painstakingly to problems (even if mundane as you claim).

It is as easy to write out topics in mathematics which one is clueless about as it is to post in a Nairaland mathematics thread about being a genius in these topics just to feel deceptively good about yourself.

The cliche which says 'before you run you must first learn how to walk' comes to mind.
shut up your mouth. Nobody is talking about being a genius here nor bragging here. And I didn't ask you to educate me.

I've been following this thread since 2013 and there's barely a single pure mathematics topic being discussed here and I only made a single complain.

The thread says "mathematics clinic", And I asked why you aren't going higher to at least up to undergraduate level and you're writing a dissertation for me.

Why not raise the bar by Talking about analysis or groups or some undergraduate course?

Do you know how many pure mathematician have been discouraged by what is going on here?


By helping these kids do their assignments, you're not really helping them.


Modify the title of the thread so that some of us can understand what is happening here.

Ramblings of a weakling. Please since this life is futile and meaningless, then take your life and leave this earth for people who are strong willed enough to exist in it. And all the weaklings applauding your post should follow suit. Iranu.

The goal of life is to survive and be as comfortable as possible. This is what everyone strives for. There is good and bad in the world. Arm yourselves with the tools to navigate through the bad without being hurt and then try to utilize the good in a noble and self beneficial way.

The world isn't a place for emotional, weak minded, over empathic people who crave genuine friendships and expect everyone to be nice and honest with them and for things to be smooth all the time. People who are like this don't have what it takes to survive in this world. The world is for people who understand the world, who understand that humans have the capacity for evil and malevolence, and they navigate their reality with this fact in mind. They understand that they have a limited time to exist on this earth and they try as much as possible to make the best of it. And there are lots of ways to make the best of it - They could strive for power, utilize their talents in making their society a better place, or they could aim at being as comfortable as they possibly can. They might not know what happens after they die, but they understand that life is a gift and they shouldn't waste it.

Op, If the people who existed before you had this stupid mindset that you have, you wouldn't be here typing on your computer, and you wouldn't have electricity to power your devices or the internet to share your stupid opinion with the world, or the car you used to commute to your work place. If people in the past had the mentality that you have, they'd see no reason to do anything. They'd either commit suicide or sit under a tree all day contemplating the futility of existence and increasingly losing the desire to do anything at all, which would preclude all the strides that's been made in medicine and technology which you an ungrateful entity enjoy constantly.

It's people that have the mentality of the OP that end up shooting schools and committing mass murder, because if life is useless, then why not assist in ending it quickly right?

Stop complaining and do the little you can to see that the world is better than you left it. Maybe that way, the future generation won't have cause to complain like you are doing.
1. The purpose of life is death.
2. You will not be aware of your future generations when you're dead. Why shortchange yourself for something you don't even know?
3. Nobody is mentally weak. This is just a popular generalization in Existentialism. Death is the end of all life and there is no difference between that man who's dead and you who'll die in the coming future.

Stop fooling yourself.

Last warning.

I'd rather watch BBNaija than join a bunch of weaklings complain about the world and celebrate suicide.

What's the usefulness of this thread? What's the benefit in saying that life is meaningless and everything that we do is futile? How does this benefit humanity? How is saying that suicide is the solution to the problem of existence useful to mankind?

Tell me one person in history of this earth that had this stupid mindset that has impacted positively to the development of the human race? Most of the people who have this mindset end up shooting schools and theaters, blowing up buildings, and committing all forms of mass murder.

The reason you are even alive today is because men and women strived to survive and make the best of themselves despite understanding that life had it's negative aspects. But they focused on the positives and used their gifts to impact their world positively. This is the message that should be propagated, not essays about how life is meaningless and how people are unfair and how suicide is an appetizing solution.
stop fooling yourself about humanity.

Even humanity doesn't care about humanity.

That's why countries spend billions making nukes instead of focusing on the poor and helpless...

Look at the human race today and be honest with yourself.


Where is humanity heading to, if not oblivion?
