I did the 1st 3 pdfs below in only a couple days. http://dennisdarland.com/new_philosophy/new_philosophy.html But I know I need to read or re-read a great deal. I feel very tired from the thought involved. I must do routine things – such as programming to rest. Philosophy is so much harder –… Continue reading

In no particular order. Study math – in particular review differential equations, especially partial differential equations. (This is for me personally – I don’t expect to do much with it – my ordinary differential equation program is mostly finished and I think partial differential equations too difficult for me. Write… Continue reading
This book (from 2011), is full of revelations about how personal data is used on the web – and how it is filtered. I’m only about 1/4 thru it. How can one obtain an objective view of the news – and get it across to others in present and future???
Predicate Logic is an abstraction of ordinary language mostly suitable for ordinary day problems. Also mostly adequate for mathematics. But we should not take it as absolutely correct. It seems to cause confusion when we think about quantum mechanics. We also have some problems thinking about purpose, free will, intentionality,… 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
THE problem of philosophy is that it is expected the single words have too simple of meanings. I have always been frustrated by the “objects” or whatever is taken as primary. They really never are primary. Perhaps physics will (or already has to some extent) reached what is primary. But… 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
