Thanks Holden. I am glad I am able to write from the hip, so to speak. I had suspected early on that my secret obsession with mathematics was also a secret rebellion against otherwise just being a sitting duck for Nature to do with me as it pleased.
The world has made it clear to me what it thinks of me: "You aint shiit, Hentrich."
If I take them literally, then they pay me a complement.
I see the paradox ... the times are changin', now the poor get fat, but the fever's gonna catch ya when the
**** gets back ...
Claude - please do not take offense if responses are not instantaneous. We each have our different moods and interests. I do not take offfense when posts about math or computing go un-responded to. Sometimes it is necessary for each of us to converse with ourselves. That is what philosophy is, no? Conversing with oneself.
I do not demand you take an interest in anything I might be inclined to attempt to articulate here; but, also, I am often self-engrossed and drained by demands for attention by the outside world.
If a paragraph begins to lose coherency for me, my mind is often in a too fragile state to work through it. Maybe in time, I might be able to decipher what you were saying better.
