    About this ebook

    My preface mentions my just published essay of the same name, less the 'II', refuting irrational numbers. That essay included a summary of my previous refutations. The subject, having recently popped into my consciousness lately, another argument came to me. Chapter 1 uses a trapezoidal figure of two sides equal to the mantissa of √2, and the two parallel sides are the unit side and the diagonal of the unit square: √2. The two equal sides (m) are commensurable by definition. The mantissa in side √2 is included by definition. These are all commensurable. I then deduct (m) or fractional parts of (m) until an infinite series is exhausted, leaving no remaining part of the unit side without a commensurable value. Hence all sides of the trapezoid are commensurable, including 1 and √2 sides. This proves that the diagonal and sides of the unit square are commensurable. To reject the infinite series, you conclude that the mantissa (m) can be zeroed out (terminated in zeros), making it commensurable with some values of subdivision with the unit side. QED.

    I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
