Already in 1837 Bolzano (Wissenschaftslehre \S 148) made just the observation that I am making. So _you_, my little Viola wittrockiana blossom, are way out of date. Of course I could have appealed to Tarski, no less, in my original post; but though I know that his view of logical constants and thus logical truth had at one time been the Bolzanoan one, I do not know that he always held such a view and it may be that the last view he held was not the one I sketched. (Nor do I mean to imply that he got his view from Bolzano's Wissenschaftslehre.) Well, that has cheered me up enormously! -- I can't go on, I'll go on.
From: Adrian Ferent on 28 Jun 2010 09:20 Christians, Muslims, Jews..are right about God but they are wrong about Evolution, Reincarnation. In the past people did not have the information, but today with biology, anthropology, quantum mechanics only the ignorant do not understand the Evolution, reincarnation. How I calculated only 1 of 1399 have a connection with God that is why we have so many religions and people do not understand much today like yesterday
From: Adrian Ferent on 29 Jun 2010 06:29 There are among G20 leaders wise people? If not why people who are the majority at animal level do not want wise people as leaders? Throughout the history of mankind were not too many wise leaders. http://www.g20.utoronto.ca
