Most of the arguing in philosophy is just the result of verbal confusions. Those can continue indefinitely. I think there are facts of the matter, but they cannot be known with certainty. Some philosophers demand certainty. I think I enjoy math & physics more. So, I am mostly switching to… Continue reading
1) Work on X Windows interface. 2) Document code better. 3) Improve doxygen documentation in process. 4) Make videos on how to use WildLife. 5) Make philosophy demos in WildLife. 6) Maybe – port WildLife to C++.
I plan on documenting & cleaning up the Language WildLife that I have ported. Also, I plan to continue working on the Unicon port of the language Russell (from C).
My logic reading is not going well – cannot find enough time. Lay in bed listening to Atheist Mind, Humanist Heart I thought I was rested – but I kept falling in and out of consciousness. But unlike last time I ended up feeling OK. Anyway I only remembered parts… Continue reading

I switched to unicon in early October. I had considered java also. I think unicon was the correct choice. At first, in October, I was, perhaps, a bit manic. I was working furiously and long hours. But lately I feel discouraged and working on it only a couple hours a… Continue reading
I’ve been working on it about a week – making good progress. But I get so absorbed I forget other things – like eating & sleeping. Then I get tired & start making stupid mistakes. But (fortunately) most of the mistakes were on an program just to format snobol programs… Continue reading
I’m discouraged about philosophy. It seems inevitable than one must make vast simplifications that in the long run leads one to paradoxes. Language is adequate for ordinary purposes, but not philosophy, and in fact, that’s what causes many problems in philosophy. Some problems in philosophy may just be scientific problems… Continue reading
