Talking in Code

When academic philosophers talk about the hazards of simplifying philosophy, they are usually talking in code about the fact that, if philosophy is simplified, then the masses will understand and master philosophy, and when the masses understand and master philosophy, the masses will begin to stand up for their rights, and power will shift from the academic elites to the informed masses, where power really belongs. Believe it or not! QED! (4/21/08)

Neoliberal Arts and the Masses

The masses should be given an education in Neoliberal Arts, because Neoliberal Arts is a bridge discipline that links, interprets, and critiques all branches of learning using the aphorism and the short article. In other words, the masses should be given an education in philosophy: specifically, postmodern minimalist philosophy, because postmodern minimalist philosophy was designed for the education of the masses. Neoliberal Arts can make the masses educationally functional at little or no cost to the tax payers, because my websites are free to everyone with an internet connection, and one doesn't even have to login. And besides that, all my books and articles can be downloaded for free from my websites. (4/22/08)

Superstring Theory

Superstring theory can be derived from monostringism, which is the philosophical belief that states that all superstrings are the manifestations of one monostring that is wriggling in an infinite dimensional Euclidean space. (4/23/08)

Materialism and Spirituality

Materialism is the only form of spiritually there is, because matter, energy, space and time are all mental phenomena, and mental phenomena are the only phenomena in nature, since all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds, and nothing exists outside of the mind, according to the Ferreira Genesis Equation. (4/23/08)

The Mind Is an Illusion

The mind is an illusion that exists only from the perspective of the self. Therefore, other minds do not exist, because, from the perspective of the self, other minds do not exist, according to the Ferreira Genesis Equation. The self is also an illusion of the mind of the self. Only through an act of faith can we believe in other minds. So, after all the philosophizing, we are left with an act of faith about the existence of other human beings. Believe it or not! QED! (4/23/08)

Faith

Faith should be based on science, technology, and philosophy, because science, technology, and philosophy are the only reliable guides to faith, due to the fact that all religious texts are crap, because they are not based on science, technology, and philosophy, but they are based on divine madness, instead, which is unreliable, at best. (4/23/08)

Some of the Paradoxes of Christianity

How can Christians put their faith in Christ, when religious technology is so unreliable, at best? In the coming kingdom of God, how will Christ have a personal relationship with all saved Christians, when Christ can only be in one place at a time? In other words, how can the one (Christ) have a personal relationship with the many (saved Christians), when the one (Christ) can only be in one place at a time? And, how can Christ (God) be certain that human beings exist, if solipsism is undefeatable, as I believe it to be? (4/24/08)

Non-Westerners and Spiritual Technology

How do Muslim countries expect to defeat the West, if Muslim countries are anti-Western science, technology, and philosophy? Do Muslim countries expect to defeat the West with spiritual technology? In other words, how can non-Western countries, in general, expect to defeat the West by non-Western means? Prayer, animal sacrifice, etc. are examples of spiritual technology. I believe that it is impossible for non-Western countries to defeat the West by non-Western means. Let's face facts, spiritual technology is inefficacious. (4/25/08)

Absolute Knowledge

Absolute knowledge is the philosophical doctrine of uncertaintyism, which states that the only certainty is uncertainty. The proof of the correctness of uncertaintyism is Ferreira's paradoxes, which are about the paradoxes that arise from computer generated conscious realities that will be possible in the not too distant future. (4/25/08)

I Have Done Everything Already

I am sorry to inform professionals that I have done everything already with my Ferreira Genesis Equation (0=0/0=X=0/0=0), where X equals anything and everything possible. Believe it or not! QED! :) (4/25/08)

The True Heirs to Philosophy

What does academic degrees have to do with being a philosopher? Not a damn thing as far as I am concerned, because academic philosophy is dead. Philosophy now belongs to the masses, who are the true heirs to philosophy. Believe it or not! QED! (4/26/08)

The Elixir of Life

The elixir of life is the panuniversal panacean computers, which are also the philosopher's stone, because the panuniversal panacean computers are the ultimate technology. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! QED! (4/27/08)

The Philosopher's Stone

The philosopher's stone is the panuniversal panacean computers, which are also the elixir of life, because the panuniversal panacean computers are the ultimate technology. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! QED! (4/27/08)

Creation or Conception

Creation or conception is an act of multiplication or sex, which is an aspect of mathematics. In other words, the will of mathematics (concrete and nonconcrete abstractions) is the source of all creations or conceptions. (4/27/08)

The Neoalchemical Source of All Things

The neoalchemical Source (God) of all things is the Fundamental Trinity, which is the source of the Ferreira Genesis Equation, and vice versa. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! QED! (4/27/08)

Creativity and Divine Inspiration

As far as I am concerned, there is no difference between creativity and divine inspiration, so what is so special about divine inspiration? My answer is that there is nothing special about divine inspiration that cannot be explained as being due to acts of creativity. In other words, all religious texts that are ascribed to divine inspiration, are really acts of creativity, and not divine inspiration, because divine inspirations are really acts of creativity by the mind. And, even if some or all acts of creativity are due to divine inspiration, it still follows that one should believe in science, technology, and philosophy, and not in religious texts, because God helps those who help themselves, and obeying religious texts is not a practical way of helping oneself. (4/28/08)

The Promise of Religion

The promise of religion is eternal life, but, in the not too distant future, science, technology, and philosophy will be able to offer the same promise of eternal life to humanity. The only difference is that science, technology, and philosophy can deliver the promise of eternal life, while religion cannot. Religion promises to make humanity into slaves of God, because, according to religion, it is a sin to question the words and will of God, while science, technology, and philosophy promise to make humanity the equals of God. The ultimate promises of science, technology, and philosophy will be achieved when panuniversal panacean computers are created in the not too distant future. (4/29/08)

What Is Philosophy?

Philosophy is mostly about exploring unexplored intellectual territory through the bridging, interpreting, and critiquing of all branches of learning using the aphorism and the short article. In other words, philosophy is not about answering unanswerable questions as is ignorantly believed. One cannot be an educated person without knowing philosophy, because philosophy is at the heart of world culture. Believe it or not! QED! (4/30/08)

The Roles of Science and Philosophy

The role of science is not to wonder why, but to quantify, while the role of philosophy is not to quantify, but to wonder why. In other words, science can inform philosophy, and vice versa. (5/1/08)

Religion and Morality

Let's face facts, there never was a moral religion, and there will never be a moral religion, because all human beings are immoral. Believe it or not! QED! (5/1/08)

The Myth of Religious Morality

Religious morality is a myth, because there never was a moral religion, and there will never will be a moral religion, because all human beings will act immorally, if given the opportunity to act immorally. Believe it or not! QED! (5/1/08)

I Am Very Patriotic

My urging of non-Western countries to try and surpass the West is my way of enticing non-Western countries to adopt Western values and culture, but, in fact, I am very patriotic towards the West, and America, in particular. It should be obvious that urging non-Western countries to Westernize is in no way anti-Western, but is, in fact, pro-Western. (5/1/08)

What Is Objective About Science?

What is objective about science, when all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds? In fact, what is objective about anything in all of creation, when all that we can ever perceive are the characteristics of our own minds? In other words, isn't objectivity an unproveable hypothesis, if solipsism is an undefeatable concept, as I believe it to be? (5/3/08)

What Is Objective About God?

What is objective about God, when our concepts of God are characteristics of our own minds? To conceive of something that is outside of our own minds is an impossibility, because all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds. Of course, we can conceive of things that we are not conscious of all the time, but do those things exist when we are not aware of them? According to solipsism, that which we do not perceive does not exist, because the evidence of others is inadmissible as proof, due to the nature of reality, since all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds. Since, from the perspective of God, all that God perceives will be subjective existence, then what is objective about God, if solipsism is an undefeatable concept as I believe it to be? (5/3/08)

Why Should Everyone Philosophize?

Everyone should philosophize, because, if one does not philosophize, then one is not fully human, because science, technology, and philosophy lead to Nietzsche's Superman (and Superwoman), which is what panuniversal panacean computers are all about. Believe it or not! QED! (5/3/08)

The Promise of Science, Technology, and Philosophy

The promise of science, technology, and philosophy is nothing less than to create the philosopher's stone, which is also the elixir of life, and which will consists of panuniversal panacean computers. In other words, the promise of science, technology, and philosophy is to turn all human beings into Nietzsche's Supermen and Superwomen, because human beings who do not wish to become Nietzsche's Supermen and Superwomen will become the laughing stock of Nietzsche's Supermen and Superwomen, just like the apes are the laughing stock of human beings today. Believe it or not! QED! (5/3/08)

The Law of Uncertaintyism

The Law of Uncertaintyism applies to everything in nature, including God, because the Law of Solipsism is valid for all minds, no matter how exalted any mind might be. The Law of Uncertaintyism states that the only certainty is uncertainty, while the Law of Solipsism states that only the self exists, and the self is comprised of all that exist in the mind of the self. (5/3/08)

The Mind Is Analogous to Infinity

The Mind is analogous to infinity, because infinity can be less than, equal to, or greater than itself, and so can the mind be less than, equal to, or greater than itself. In other words, creation can be less than, equal to, or greater than itself in analogy with infinity. (5/3/08)

What Is Nature?

Nature is zero (nothingness) and the illusions of zero, which are the characteristics of zero. In other words, nature is our minds, which are the characteristics of zero. Therefore, nature is the mind of the self, which encompasses all of creation. (5/3/08)

What Is Time?

Time is a characteristic of zero (nothingness). One can invoke the same reasoning in order to answer any: What is X? question. In other words, the answer to all: What is X? questions is: X is a characteristic of, or are characteristics of zero, where X can be anything including everything possible. (5/3/08)

What Is X?

The definitive answer to any: What is X? question is: X is a characteristic of, or are characteristics of zero (nothingness), where X can be anything including everything possible. (5/3/08)

The Definitive Answers to All Questions

The definitive answers to all questions are that anything and everything are the characteristics of zero. Therefore, the characteristics of zero are the definitive answers to all questions. So the answer to the question, Who or what is God? is: God is any and all of the characteristics of zero. In other words, the answer to all questions is zero (nothingness) and the characteristics of zero. Believe it or not! QED! (5/4/08)

Objectivism Is Crap

Objectivism is crap, because what is objective about anything in nature, when all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds? Let's face facts, nature is the essence of subjectivity. In other words, subjectivism is correct. Subjectivism is the philosophical doctrine that states that nature is the essence of subjectivity, because solipsism is an undefeatable concept, since all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds. (5/5/08)

Subjectivism Is Correct

Subjectivism is correct, because all that we perceive are the characteristics of our own minds, and solipsism proves that subjectivism is true, because nature is the essence of subjectivity, since solipsism is an undefeatable concept, due to the nature of reality. (5/5/08)

An Infinite Hierarchy of Ultimate Realities

Ferreira's Paradoxes suggest that there might be an infinite hierarchy of ultimate realities, because each ultimate reality might be generated by a higher ultimate reality, ad infinitum. In other words, there might be an infinite hierarchy of zeroes (nothingnesses) and their characteristics. Believe it or not! QED! (5/6/08)

All Illusions Are Characteristics of Zeroes

All illusions are characteristics of zeroes, because all illusions are perceptions, and all perceptions are characteristics of zeroes. In other words, ultimate realities are zeroes, and zeroes form hierarchies, although all zeroes are one and the same zero. So says, the Ferreira Genesis Equation. (5/6/08)

Zero Does not Denigrate Nature

Please note that stating that zero (nothingness) is Nature (God) in no way denigrates Nature (God), because zero represents zero entropy, which means perfect order, knowledge, and wisdom. In other words, perfect order, knowledge, and wisdom are intrinsic to zero (God). Therefore, zero does not denigrate Nature (God) in any way, but exalts Nature (God), instead. (5/6/08)

The Ferreira Fundamental Trinity

The Ferreira Fundamental Trinity (language, logic, and mathematics) is intrinsic to all zeroes (nothingnesses), because zeroes are analogous to Leibnizian monads. (5/6/08)

Making My Dreams Come True

The students of my websites will help to make my dreams come true, by spreading the word about, and participating in the research to find the panuniversal panacean computers. My dreams sure make the future look bright, indeed. Please spread the word about my websites. Thanks! (5/7/08)

The Greatest Scientific and Technological Quest

The greatest scientific and technological quest of all time is the present and future scientific, and technological research into the development of panuniversal panacean computers. If anyone can think of a greater and more important scientific and technological quest, please let me know. (5/7/08)

The Greatest and Most Important Spin-Offs

The greatest and most important spin-offs of all time from philosophy will be the scientific and technological research fields that will be involved in the development of the panuniversal panacean computers that have been hypothesized by the philosophy of postmodern minimalist philosophy, aka panaceanism, Neoliberal Arts, Ferreirism, etc. (5/7/08)

What Is Supernatural About Any Religious Text?

What is supernatural about any religious text that is beyond the imagination and creativity of human beings to imagine and create without divine intervention or inspiration? As far as I am concerned, there is nothing supernatural about any religious text that cannot be ascribed to human imagination and creativity. (5/8/08)

One Cannot Know the Truly Unknowable

Anything that the mind can know can be generated by the human mind without the intervention or inspiration of God, because all that can be known by the human mind are capable of being perceived, imagined, or created by the human mind. In other words, human beings cannot know, even by divine intervention or inspiration, the truly unknowable, because knowing the truly unknowable is a contradiction in terms, and is, therefore, impossible. Another way of stating the above is to state that: One cannot know the truly unknowable, even by supernatural means, because to know the truly unknowable by supernatural means is a contradiction in terms, which leads to the impossible. (5/8/08)

The Meanings and Representations of Language, Logic, and Mathematics

What most people, including most experts, do not realize is that the meanings and representations of language, logic, and mathematics are also examples of language, logic, and mathematics, respectively, because everything consists of either abstract or concrete language, logic, and mathematics, according to the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity, and the Ferreira Genesis Equation. (5/8/08)

The Knowability of Certain Absolute Truths

The knowability of certain absolute truths is possible, because of the Ferreira Law of Uncertaintyism, the Ferreira Genesis Equation, and the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity, which comprise the sources of all order, knowledge, and wisdom. (5/8/08)

The Ferreira Absolute Trinity

The Ferreira Absolute Trinity consists of the Ferreira Genesis Equation, the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity, and the Ferreira Law of Uncertaintyism, which together comprise the sources of all order, knowledge, and wisdom. In other words, zero entropy (zerotropy) consists of the Ferreira Absolute Trinity. In equational form: Zero entropy = The Ferreira Absolute Trinity. Believe it or not! QED! (5/9/08)

Zero Entropy = The Ferreira Absolute Trinity

Stating that: Zero entropy = The Ferreira Absolute Trinity, does not mean that the Ferreira Law of Uncertaintyism is wrong, because it is possible to know absolute truth, and still be uncertaintyistic about absolute truth. (5/9/08)

Human Knowledge Will Always Remain Uncertaintyistic

Human knowledge will always remain uncertaintyistic, despite containing absolute truths, because of Ferreira's paradoxes, the Law of Solipsism, and the Law of Uncertaintyism, which states that the only certainty is uncertainty. If anyone disagrees with the above, then they should go and try to solve Ferreira's paradoxes, or solipsism. (5/9/08)

Why I Name Some of My Ideas After Myself

If anyone is wondering why I name some of my ideas after myself, here is the reason: I name some of my ideas after myself, because my websites comprise The University of Neoliberal Arts, and I have given myself the authority to name some of my ideas after myself. (5/9/08)
