Re: Teenage Philosophers?
Prequests for the question :
Could infinite things construct something finite?
Yes, a segment of length one is constructed of
millions of points.
My question :
If we had an x-axis. Then we took all the numbers between 0 and 1, and say that they are equal to "n".
So, n=0 + dx +... + 0.00001+ 0.0002 +.... + 0.9 + 1.
Now let's say that the count of numbers in n is p. So p = 1 + 1 + 1 +... = P(n). What is n / p?
My answer :
Taking the first and last number in the series n and dividing them by there count which is 2. So (0 + 1)/2 = 0.5
And ((0 + b) + (1 - b)) /2 for any b is 0.5 . I don't want to continue my full proof, but this gave you a basic understanding.
When I finished, he smiled. Then my classmates who are blown up by our conversation asked him if what I am saying is true. He answered that I am going crazy . I know he got impressed. So I gave a good impression. After 3 months of school. We had many philosophical thoughts that opened my mind to the limits. Then he started talking about religions. And after our on-class conversations and after I got deep into questioning my relegius beliefs and after reading philosophers' opinions, I could easily tell that he is inspired by Spinoza and his book "the ethics". Though he got me depressed about the existence of God.... I was very grateful he was the person who made me interested in philosophy which I think about every day, and I try to philosophies everything I experience, read... Now I am reading "meditations on first philosophy - Rene Discarte". I am still not finding internal fulfillment - which I had before reading about philosophy. And still not finding a reason for living... Etc.
I tried to open some philosophical arguments between my peers, but no one is interested or even care. I went through a breakup 1 week ago. Which is making me reformulate "my" opinion about love. And I need help in that . I forgot to mention that I am a programmer. I started when I was 10 years old with c Lang. And now 14 with python machine learning and unity c sharp. Sorry for my bad English. It's my foreign language.
