THE END OF HISTORY

THE END OF HISTORY Magister colin leslie dean

The end of history because-EVERYTHING ends in nonsense rubbish

All products of human thought end in meaninglessness-even Zen nihilism absurdism existentialism all philosophy post-modernism Post-Postmodernism critical theory etc mathematics science etc

from

http://pricegems.com/articles/Dean-Godel.html

"Mr. Dean complains that Gödel "cannot tell us what makes a mathematical statement true", but Gödel's Incompleteness theorems make no attempt to do this"

Godels 1st theorem

“....., there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory (Kleene 1967, p. 250

Godel cant tell us what makes a mathematical statement true,

thus his theorem is meaningless

in the statement

"there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory"

godel cant tell us what the word "true" means

thus

the word "true" is meaningless

thus

the statement

"there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory"

is meaningless

thus

thus godels 1st theorem is meaningless

checkmate game over

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth#Mathematics

Gödel thought that the ability to perceive the truth of a mathematical or logical proposition is a matter of intuition, an ability he admitted could be ultimately beyond the scope of a formal theory of logic or mathematics[63][64] and perhaps best considered in the realm of human comprehension and communication, but commented: Ravitch, Harold (1998). "On Gödel's Philosophy of Mathematics".,Solomon, Martin (1998). "On Kurt Gödel's Philosophy of Mathematics"

thus by not telling us what makes a maths statement true Godels 1st theorem is meaningless

Penrose could not even see Godels theorems end in meaninglessness

http://pricegems.com/articles/Dean-Godel.html

"Mr. Dean complains that Gödel "cannot tell us what makes a mathematical statement true", but Gödel's Incompleteness theorems make no attempt to do this"

Godels 1st theorem

“Any effectively generated theory capable of expressing elementary arithmetic cannot be both consistent and complete. In particular, for any consistent, effectively generated formal theory that proves certain basic arithmetic truths, there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory (Kleene 1967, p. 250)

but

Godel cant tell us what makes a mathematical statement true,

thus his theorem is meaningless

even Cambridge expert on Godel Peter Smith admits "Gödel didn't rely on the notion of truth"

checkmate game over

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth#Mathematics

Gödel thought that the ability to perceive the truth of a mathematical or logical proposition is a matter of intuition, an ability he admitted could be ultimately beyond the scope of a formal theory of logic or mathematics[63][64] and perhaps best considered in the realm of human comprehension and communication, but commented: Ravitch, Harold (1998). "On Gödel's Philosophy of Mathematics".,Solomon, Martin (1998). "On Kurt Gödel's Philosophy of Mathematics"

thus by not telling us what makes a maths statement true Godels 1st theorem is meaningless

so much for separating truth from proof

and for some relish

Godel uses his G statement to prove his theorem but Godels sentence G is outlawed by the very axiom of the system he uses to prove his theorem ie the axiom of reducibility -thus his proof is invalid,

Godels 2nd theorem

Godels second theorem ends in paradox– impredicative The theorem in a rephrasing reads

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GC3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_theorems#Proof_sketch_for_the_second_theorem

"The following rephrasing of the second theorem is even more unsettling to the foundations of mathematics: If an axiomatic system can be proven to be consistent and complete from within itself, then it is inconsistent.”

or again

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GC3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_theorems

"The second incompleteness theorem, an extension of the first, shows that the system cannot demonstrate its own consistency."

But here is a contradiction Godel must prove that a system c a n n o t b e proven to be consistent based upon the premise that the logic he uses must be consistent . If the logic he uses is not consistent then he cannot make a proof that is consistent. So he must assume thathis logic is consistent so he can make a proof of the impossibility of proving a system to be consistent. But if his proof is true then he has proved that the logic he uses to make the proof must be consistent, but his proof proves that this cannot be done

note if Godels system is inconsistent then it can demonstrate its consistency and inconsistency

but Godels theorem does not say that

it says "...the system cannot demonstrate its own consistency"

thus as said above

"But here is a contradiction Godel must prove that a system c a n n o t b e proven to be consistent based upon the premise that the logic he uses must be consistent"

But if his proof is true then he has proved that the logic he uses to make the proof must be consistent, but his proof proves that this cannot be done

1st theorem

“.... there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory (Kleene 1967, p. 250)

Godel cant tell us what makes a maths statement true thus this statement ".... there is an arithmetical statement that is true" is meaningless

thus his 1st theorem is meaningless

In this video, I react to a video on Postmodernism. The video makes attempts to explain postmodernism and show its secret links to so-called Leftist identity politics. In reacting to this video, I describe several postmodern concepts.

Objective world?

This may seem like an oversimplification but im new. Do postmodernists really believe that objective reality is unknowable and dont believe in things like logic, categories and hierarchies and every human activity is a power game?

Edit: It is my understanding that it is a subjective worldview, but what exactly does that mean? Is it that some things are open to interpretation or an absolute subjectivity?

Lost futures . Are they a part of post modernism?

The concept of lost futures fits into hauntology. hauntology is a part of deconstructionism. Deconstructionsim is an offshoot of postmodernism (or a part of post modernism).

Are "lost futures" part of post modernism, or something else? Does anyone have any recommendations about the hauntological concept of "lost futures"?

Is there a canon for post-modernism?

There's a YouTube channel called "Tom Nicholas". He has done videos about modernism, post-modernism, structuralism, critical theory, neo-liberalism, phenomenology, hegemony and semiotics.

I know the term "humanities" exists to describe these subjects. They are very broad, and draw from the arts (visual art, literature, theatre). psychology, economy, philosophy and obviously sociology.

Can anyone help me categories these fields? I wondered if there was any sort of map that would show how all of these things are connected. Are they schools of thought?

I'd like to learn about all these things.

I've read a book on post-modernism 101. It mentions many parts of post-modernism, or things adjacent to post modernism.

Is there a list of books that would really school me on postmodernism? Are there a number of topics that constitute postmodernism? What would the main ones be?

I'd really appreciate any video, book ,etc recommendations.

Also which other topics are related to post-modernism? Obviously modernism would be one. When reading the introductory book on postmodernism Marx and late-capitalism is mentioned a lot. Are those the 2 main related schools of thought to post-modernism?
