I find that I do better mentally if I have a minimum of about 3 ounces of chocolate a day. (caffeine? – which I otherwise avoid!) It seems I still keep my glucose under control if I do enough exercise – I’m doing about 64 minutes on exercise bike. (not… Continue reading
I am having troubles. I feel sick – exhausted. I have been reading more. Besides logic, I am reading other things. Lately mostly Atheist Mind, Humanist Heart. I was enjoying it – I like it very much. But I got only 3 hours (approx) during the night. I did not… Continue reading
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
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 have been averaging only about 5 hours of sleep per night the last couple months. I just could not sleep more than that. Increased one medicine (with Doctor) Tuesday (March 24, 2015). Slept about 7 hours Thursday and 8.5 Friday nights. Feel much better today (Saturday).

I think though that philosophy relies to much on “common… Continue reading
I think it has been long enough that I have enough new ideas that I need to revise what I have written. Also I hope I can express some better. Also I may round my ideas out even when they are not as original.
I seems that I have done what I am capable of in almost everything. I think I am correct in my criticism of opacity (Quine, Stich). But many words (variables and quantifiers etc in logic) do not simply stand for an object. This gets very complex – I think it… Continue reading
The UniBomber, Ted Kaczynski, was the subject of a CIA mind altering research program, MKULTRA, in 1958. The purpose of the program was to take from its subjects the ability to act autonomously and required them to behave in a bizarre manner. He was in the program three years. He… Continue reading
I have a new thought. There is no relation ‘implies’ (other than material implication) (between propositions). Where one one wants to say F(a) strictly implies G(a). One really has a relation SI(F,a,G,a) S believes it would be belief_r(S,t,’SI’,’F’,’a’,’G’,’a’) & symbol_r1(S,’SI’,Si) & symbol_r1(S,t,’F’,F), …..
