    About this ebook

    This box set spans six years of essays on math commentary. It includes whole essays (quite short), abstracts from longer essays, and abstracts from my book: Paradoxes. My most important accomplishment on this subject is the demolishing of the 2,500 year long reign of irrational numbers. The basic refutation is so simple that it calls into question the rationality of mathematicians whose large store of specialized training and knowledge, group connections and discussion forums, make this a millennial scandal. More so, that a man of little detailed knowledge should explode this fallacy. How could men such as Descartes, Newton, Leibniz, Euclid, Archimedes not see the obvious error, be fooled by the deceptive algebraic argument of Hippasus and Euclid's further obfuscation of the matter? For my part, fooled by the subtleties of the algebraic proofs, intimidated by the centuries of acceptance, over complicated my refutations and stumbled on that complexity. Without even leaving the foreword, we put the matter in its simplest form.
    The ratio of the unit square sides (s) to the diagonal is: √2/1. We try to find the commensurable value that fits into both numerator and denominator. First, √2/1 = √2. We see that (s) is within the root and do not need the denominator (s). We note that all fractions are portions of the unit value (1). We note that all number bases are commensurable in fractional parts to (1). The first power of 10 is commensurable by ten (1/10th)'s. The (1/100th) is commensurable into the 10th's positions, etc., for all reciprocal powers of the mantissa or fractional positions. This is absolutely certain by the definition of base positional notation. That being the case, how could not all elements of the mantissa not be commensurable to each other and the unit whole number to the left of the decimal point? They are. and (1) = (s) and the proof is done. If you suppose some trick of positional notation, we know that all fractions are ratios of whole numbers, and that all whole number integers are commensurable by (1) = (s). There must be a least common denominator, however complex or obtuse to find, and that avenue of refutation is a logical dead end by definition of whole numbers (all additives of the unit value.)
    That's it, done. The 2,500 year nightmare and swindle is over. We will repeat this in the body of the box set from different approaches. You will find repetition of basic concepts here. If that bothers you, just scan or gloss over them in mental notation. Basic concepts are simple on the face of it but not so simple upon reflection, as philosophers know all too well. Time, space, motion? Of course I know what these are. Yet, studying the subtleties of these matters, leaves us frustrated. People come up with paradoxes that seem to cloud the issues. What to put first in the set is a puzzle. How should I proceed? I start with my most significant simple proof and leave supporting matters for later. Abstracts from largely theological and philosophical essays appear here....

    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.
