I am sorry I could not write sooner.I have been studying Schopenhauer's thoughts on mathematics.
I finished reading this essay called" Transcendent Speculation on the Apparent Deliberateness in the Fate of the Individual."
It helped me greatly in understanding how I came across you.
You asked me if there are any old students in India.I think there are very few such people here.Every man here gets married in the late twenties or early thirties.And then kids invariably follow.All relatives look at me as a freak.They think I care about what they think about me.
They are greatly mistaken.

Your other question was whether we should focus on whats happening in the world or not-wars,killings etc.
I think we should ignore them completely.We can do nothing about it whatsoever. The roots of evil are far deeper than these politicians are willing to accept.I could just read Schopenhauer for the rest of my life while the world around me continues to burn.
At present I am reading the Essay on Spirit Seeing.I think Schopenhauer was a genius greater than a zillion Einsteins put together.
As far as programming is concerned I will certainly take it up.When I am reading Schopenhauer I feel as if I have left the mortal world all together. One of the biggest lies which Schopenhauer exposes is that the world(or math for that matter) is logical.
When in reality it is just all our intuitive perception.
