The Primitive Mind
The primitive mind has an instinctive fear of science, technology, and philosophy, because the primitive mind believes that experimenting on, and asking questions of nature are sacrilegious, disrespectful of God, and very dangerous. (12/5/07)
The Postmodern Mind
The postmodern mind believes in science, technology, and philosophy, because the postmodern mind knows that God helps those who help themselves. (12/5/07)
Probability Waves (Probwaves)
I believe that probability waves (probwaves) are the rationale for the mind, and that the mind is an illusion of probability waves, because I believe that the contents of the mind exist only in the mind. (12/6/07)
The Probwavistic Brains of Human Beings
For all practical purposes, the physical universe consists of probability waves (probwaves), and the mind is an illusion of probability waves (probwaves). In other words, matter, energy, color, sound, etc are all illusions of probability waves in the probwavistic brains of human beings. (12/6/07)
Philosophy Is Dead!
Philosophy is dead!, because Neoliberal Arts has been too successful in answering all important outstanding philosophical questions. I never thought that this day would come, but I have to admit that philosophy is now dead. (12/8/07)
Postmodern Minimalist Philosophy Has Reached the Summit!
Philosophy is dead, because Postmodern Minimalist Philosophy has reached the summit of world culture. The last major technological achievement that world culture will make is the creation of neoalchemical computers, which has already been hypothesized by Postmodern Minimalist Philosophy. When neoalchemical computers are created in the not too distant future, human beings will find very creative ways to occupy their time, so there is no reason to be alarmed about the death of philosophy, and intellectual activity, in general. (12/9/07)
The Rebirth of Philosophy as Art and Entertainment
Philosophy is dead, but no sooner is it dead than it is reborn as art and entertainment. Long live philosophy! (12/9/07)
Philosophy Is Now Art and Entertainment
Philosophy is now art and entertainment, which means that philosophy will live on as art and entertainment. (12/9/07)
Neophilosophy
Philosophy has been reborn as neophilosophy, which is also known as neoliberal arts, and neoliberal arts is now a form of art and entertainment that I call postmodern minimalist philosophy. (12/10/07)
Art and Entertainment
In retrospect, all my writings should be called art and entertainment, because that is what neoliberal arts is really about. Therefore, postmodern minimalist philosophy is really a form of art and entertainment. Neoliberal arts has proven that art and entertainment can also be about deep philosophical stuff. (12/10/07)
Arrogant and Absolutist Delusions
Let scientists, technologists, and philosophers continue to delude themselves that they are engaged in absolutist enterprises, while neoliberal artsians will continue to believe that all is art and entertainment. (12/10/07)
According to Quantum Mechanics, Anything Is Possible
According to quantum mechanics, anything is possible, because the probability of any future event (no matter how absurd) occurring is nonzero. Therefore, scientists are hiding the fact that miracles and other paranormal phenomena are possible, because, according to quantum mechanics, anything is possible, due to the fact that any event (no matter how absurd) has a nonzero probability of occurring in the future. (12/11/07)
Making the Highly Improbable Very Probable
Neoalchemical computers will make anything possible by making the highly improbable very probable, because quantum mechanics rules out nothing. Scientists do not want this knowledge to get into the hands of the general public, because they fear that the general public will start acting crazy. (12/11/07)
The Greatest News to Come Out of Science
The greatest news to come out of science is that quantum mechanics rules out nothing, and that is exactly what scientists do not want the general public to know, because scientists fear that the general public would start acting irrational. (12/11/07)
Religion and Quantum Mechanics
Despite what scientists say publicly about religion, scientists know that quantum mechanics is not incompatible with religion, because, according to quantum mechanics, anything is possible, due to the fact that quantum mechanics rules out nothing. According to quantum mechanics, everything has a nonzero probability of occurring at anytime in the future, so that quantum mechanics does not rule out anything in any religious text. (12/11/07)
Harnessing the Quantum Realm
Someday, human beings will have powers similar to the mythical gods of antiquity for real, when human beings have truly harnessed the quantum realm using neoalchemical computers. (12/12/07)
South Africa=Slipping into Darkness
South Africa will be a basket case like the rest of Africa in about ten years time, and that is because black people all over the world like to wallow in entropy too damn much. (12/15/07)
Quantumechanism
Quantumechanism is the philosophical doctrine that states that quantum mechanics rules out nothing, because anything is possible, due to the fact that nothing in nature has a zero probability of occurring in the future. In other words, according to quantum mechanics, everything, no matter how absurd, has a nonzero probability of occurring in the future. (12/16/07)
The Ferreira Fundamental Trinity
The only thing more fundamental than the Ferreira Genesis Equation (0=0/0=X=0/0=0) is the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity (Language, Logic, and Mathematics), although the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity is derived from the Ferreira Genesis Equation, and vice versa. (12/18/07)
The Ultimate of All Ultimates
The ultimate of all ultimates is The Ferreira Ultimate Equation: The Ferreira Genesis Equation=The Ferreira Fundamental Trinity. The Ferreira Ultimate Equation is something for other Neoliberal Artsians to try to beat. Good Luck! (12/18/07)
The Ferreira Ultimate Equation
It has taken me fifty-six years to come up with The Ferreira Ultimate Equation (The Ferreira Genesis Equation=The Ferreira Fundamental Trinity). Believe it or not! (12/18/07)
Zero Entropy
Zero entropy=The Ferreira Genesis Equation=The Ferreira Fundamental Trinity=God. (12/19/07)
Panuniversal Panacean Computers Are Possible
If visitors to my websites were to take away only one message, I would want that message to be the concept of the neoalchemical computers as the panuniversal panaceas, because I genuinely believe that panuniversal panacean computers are not only possible, but necessary. (12/19/07)
Farewell to the Summit of World Culture
Now that my readers and I have reached the summit of world culture, it is now time for us to plant the flags of our respective countries on the summit of world culture, and then for us to head back down from the summit of world culture. So, farewell to the summit of world culture! Now let us be a bit more practical, if we can. (12/20/07)
What Should the Future of Neoliberal Arts Be?
I would like the current students of Neoliberal Arts to send me an email with their input on what they think the future of Neoliberal Arts should be. Please write at length, if you wish. I will not penalize you for writing at length, if you wish to write at length. (12/20/07)
The Flag of the United Nations
The summit of world culture=Neoliberal Arts=The doctrine of The United Nations. Not a bad idea! (12/20/07)
The Flag of the USA
The flag of the USA flies on the summit of world culture, and the summit of world culture is Neoliberal Arts, according to me. (12/21/07)
How Did I Manage to Reach the Summit of World Culture?
I managed to reach the summit of world culture by avoiding academia like the plague. I learned at an early age that to make it through academia, one is going to get intellectually bulled a million times over, so I studied world culture using popular sources of information (popular books, magazines, and public TV, etc), and I used my innate creativity to connect the intellectual dots of world culture. Now that I have done it, anyone can do the same thing by studying my websites. Believe it or not. QED! (12/21/07)
Academics Are Famous for Intellectual Bulling
Academics are famous for intellectual bulling. In fact, the purpose of a formal education is to intellectually bull students through the academic process, in order to prepare students for a life of prosperous misery. (12/21/07)
Western Culture Is Dead! Long Live World Culture!
Western culture is dead, because Neoliberal Arts has reached the summit of world culture, but the tradition of Western culture will long endure, and live on, because world culture is based heavily on Western Culture. (12/22/07)
Ferreira's Paradoxes Are Thought Experiments
Ferreira's paradoxes are thought experiments that prove the truth of the philosophical doctrine of uncertaintyism, which states that uncertainty is the only certainty. In other words, Ferreira's Paradoxes prove that absolutism of any kind is an illusion. (12/24/07)
Santa Claus and Neoalchemical Computers
Someday, Santa Claus and his reindeers will really be able to fly using neoalchemical computers as the enchanted power source, when neoalchemical computers are created in the not too distant future. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! QED! (12/24/07)
Quantum Computer Science
The most important, interesting, and exciting branch of science is now quantum computer science, because it has the potential to make all other branches of science obsolete, due to the fact that quantum computer science can create the panuniversal panacean computers in the not too distant future. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! QED! (12/25/07)
Religious People and Quantum Mechanics
Religious people should know about quantum mechanics, because quantum mechanics rules out nothing. Not even religion is ruled out by quantum mechanics, because anything has a nonzero probability of being true, according to quantum mechanics. (12/26/07)
Benazir Bhutto (1953-2007)
Benazir Bhutto was a Giant among Lilliputians. Pakistan did not deserve such a great woman as Benazir Bhutto. (12/27/07)
Metamorphism and Reincarnation
Someday, neoalchemical computers will be able to metamorph matter and energy into reincarnated human beings, so that all the dead will be able to be brought back to life. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! QED! (12/29/07)
Modern Philosophy Was Stifling Philosophical Progress
Before postmodern minimalist philosophy was invented, philosophy was not making any progress, because modern philosophy was stifling philosophical progress with its lengthy systematic philosophical treatises. (12/30/07)
If Creativity Abhors Intellectual Straitjackets
If creativity abhors intellectual straitjackets, why does modern philosophy insists on putting philosophy in intellectual straitjackets by insisting on the rigorous systematization of philosophical texts? Is it because of the academic filtration process? Or is it because of inertia? Or is it because modern philosophers still believe that they can solve philosophical problems with mathematical or logical rigor? (12/30/07)
The Academic Filtration Process
The Internet and the World Wide Web might make the academic filtration process obsolete, if websites like mine were to become popular. Anyway, when neoalchemical computers are created in the not to distant future, the academic filtration process will become irrelevant, because education will become a matter of just metamorphing the uneducated human brain into an educated human brain using neoalchemical computers. Believe it or not! QED! (12/30/07)
The Future of Education
The future of education will be about metamorphing the uneducated human brain into an educated human brain using neoalchemical computers. Believe it or not! May the Source be with you! QED! (12/30/07)
A Cosmic Civilization
Human beings are destined to have a cosmic civilization in about a thousand years time, because neoalchemical computers will make human teleportation to anywhere in the universe possible in about a hundred years time. (12/31/07)
Neoalchemical Computers and National Security
I do not think that the US government realizes as yet the national security implications of neoalchemical computers, because, if they did, they would be investing heavily in quantum computer science and technology, due to the fact that neoalchemical computers will be based on quantum computer technology, which will make today's technology seem extremely primitive in comparison. Believe it or not! QED! (12/31/07)
A Solution to African Education
A solution to African education would be for African high schools and universities to teach Neoliberal Arts for free over the Internet using my websites. I can assure African educators that, if they were to adopt my proposal, then African high school and university students will be able to reach the summit of world culture in less than four years of study. Believe it or not! QED! (1/3/08)
A Solution to Third World Education
A solution to Third World education would be for Third World high schools and universities to teach Neoliberal Arts for free over the Internet using my websites. I can assure Third World educators that, if they were to adopt my proposal, then Third World high school and university students will be able to reach the summit of world culture in less than four years of study. Believe it or not! QED! (1/3/08)
A Neotraditional Education for the World
A Neoliberal Arts education is destined to become part of a neotraditional education for the whole world, because the whole world belongs on the summit of world culture. Believe it or not! QED! (1/3/08)
The Whole World Belongs on the Summit of World Culture
The whole world belongs on the summit of world culture, because the summit of world culture is the highest point of human culture that can be achieved, and my websites make it possible for everyone to reach the summit of world culture. Believe it or not! QED! (1/4/08)
Neoliberal Arts and World Culture
What has convinced me that I have reached the summit of world culture is John Horgan's book "The End of Science" Broadway Books, 1996, my inability to go beyond the concept of the panuniversal panacean computers, and my philosophical doctrine of uncertaintyism. I am now convinced that Neoliberal arts is destined to become part of a neotraditional education all over the world. In other words, Neoliberal Arts will become an important part of world culture. (1/4/08)
Neoliberal Arts and the Neoclassical Education
If Neoliberal Arts will become the neoclassical education, then what will come after the neoclassical education is no longer new? I believe that paradise will come after the neoclassical education is no longer new. Can paradise be sustained indefinitely? Let's hope so, because where do we go from there? :) (1/4/08)
The Flag of the Trinidad & Tobago
The flag of Trinidad & Tobago is flying on the summit of world culture, because I was born in Trinidad & Tobago, and I planted the flag of Trinidad & Tobago, along with the US flag, on the summit of world culture, which is Neoliberal Arts, according to me. (1/5/08)
Probabilities Are Mathematical Abstractions
Probability waves (probwaves) can account for and explain all phenomena and perceptions that are perceived by the human mind. In fact, probability waves can even account for and explain space and time that are experienced by the human mind. It should be noted that probwaves are not physical waves, because probabilities are mathematical abstractions. (1/5/08)
