Philosophy Should Belong to the Masses (Part One)
By: Professor QED

Entropy Is the Disease that Afflicts the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity

Entropy is the disease that afflicts the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity, which consists of language, logic, and mathematics, because without entropy, language, logic, and mathematics would have perfect order, knowledge, and wisdom. In other words, entropy is the cause of all imperfections in nature. Therefore, it is sad to say, but true, that entropy is what makes the world interesting, although entropy is something we must try to overcome, although it is impossible to overcome entropy entirely. (7/1/08)

Philosophy Should Belong to the Masses

Philosophy should belong to the masses, because the masses deserve to have an intellectual discipline of their own. The three pillars of postmodern minimalist civilization are: Science, technology, and philosophy, and the masses should own at least one of the three pillars of postmodern minimalist civilization. Postmodern minimalist philosophy (PMP) is the ideal philosophy for the masses, because it is a bridge discipline that links, interprets, and critiques all branches of learning using the aphorism and the short article. PMP requires no advanced academic training, because studying popular books, magazines, and other popular media are all that is required to become competent in PMP. And, my free websites are the home of PMP. If the masses were to become competent in PMP, they would become intellectually competent to an extent that is unprecedented in the history of the masses anywhere in the world. Such a lofty goal is achievable in less than fifty years time. Believe it or not! QED! (7/2/08)

The Equation of Everything

The Ferreira Genesis Equation (0=0/0=X=0/0=0) is the Equation of Everything, because the Ferreira Genesis Equation is so broad that it encompasses everything in nature. Therefore, all equations that will be discovered in the future will merely be the filling in of the details of the Ferreira Genesis Equation, which encompasses all equations of the past, present, and future. Believe it or not! QED! (7/4/08)

Academia Believes that Educating the Masses in Philosophy Is Very Dangerous

How can philosophy be useless, if studying and mastering philosophy can make the masses highly educated? If the masses were to ask the above question, they would realize that they have been deliberately lied to by academia, because academia believes that educating the masses in philosophy is very dangerous, due to the fact that philosophy is one educational discipline that the masses can study and master in a short period of time, if philosophy is simplified for the masses. (7/5/08)

World Philosophy Is the Apex of World Culture

It is impossible to understand world culture without mastering world philosophy, especially Neoliberal Arts, aka postmodern minimalist philosophy, because world philosophy is the apex of world culture. (7/5/08)

Philosophy Is the Cheapest Means of Educating the Masses

Philosophy is the cheapest means of educating the masses to an unprecedentedly high level of education that the masses have never reached before in the history of the masses anywhere in the world. And, postmodern minimalist philosophy can accomplish the above goal of educating the masses of the world in the shortest period of time that it will take to educate the masses to an unprecedentedly high level of education for the masses anywhere in the world. (7/5/08)

Everything Is Entangled with Each Other

Everything is entangled with each other on the most fundamental level of nature, because everything is one and the same thing on the most fundamental level of nature, according to the Ferreira Genesis Equation, and the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity. (7/6/08)

Proof Positive that Chance Is an Illusion

Since everything is one and the same thing on the most fundamental level of nature, according to the Ferreira Genesis Equation, and the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity, it means that chance (randomness) is an illusion. Therefore, the above is proof positive that chance is an illusion, because everything is entangled with each other on the most fundamental level of nature. Believe it or not! QED! (7/6/08)

Theists Can Defeat the Atheists

Theists can defeat the atheists by asking the atheists: How can chance (randomness) be real when everything in nature is one and the same thing on the most fundamental level of nature? In other words, how can chance be real when everything is entangled with each other on the most fundamental level of nature? If theists were to ask atheists the above questions, the atheists would have to admit defeat on the above issue, because atheists believe that chance is real, and they rely heavily on the concept of chance to bolster their belief in atheism. Believe it or not! QED! (7/7/08)

How Reliable Is Our Understanding of the Behavior of Light?

Cosmology is based on our understanding of light, but how reliable is our understanding of the behavior of light, especially over long periods of time? My belief is that our understanding of the behavior of light over long periods of time is unreliable. Therefore, our knowledge of cosmology is unreliable. Believe it or not! QED! (7/8/08)

Scientists Know that Chance Is an Illusion

Scientists know that chance is an illusion, because they believe that all is one on the most fundamental level of nature, and this belief is reflected in their search for the grand unified theory of nature. In other words, scientists are insincere about their belief in chance. (7/9/08)

The Big Bang of Creation Is a Fallacy

Why does the universe appear so vast, if what we perceive today is the universe as it was about fourteen billion years ago? Doesn't the above prove that the big bang of creation is a fallacy, if the universe was a singularity about fourteen billion years ago? Wouldn't light that left distant galaxies billions of years ago have reached the earth billions of years ago, if the universe was much smaller billions of years ago? In other words, isn't the vastness of the universe that we perceive proof that the big bang of creation is crap? (7/9/08)

The Holy Trinity

The Holy Trinity consists of the Ferreira Genesis Equation, the Self, and Zero Entropy. The Ferreira Genesis Equation represents God the Parent; the Self represents God the Son or Daughter; and Zero Entropy represents God the Holy Spirit. In other words, each of us is the Holy Trinity from our own perspectives. If each of us is the Holy Trinity from our own perspectives, then who should each of us worship? The answer is that each of us should worship ourselves, because each of us is the Holy Trinity from our own perspectives. (7/11/08)

Is It Alright to Pray to God?

Yes, it is alright to pray to God, because when we pray to God, we are praying to ourselves, due to the fact that we are all, individually and collectively, the Holy Trinity, which is God. (7/11/08)

Is It Alright to Believe in Religion?

Yes, it is alright to believe in religion, because we are all the divinities that we worship, due to the fact that pantheism is true, according to the Ferreira Genesis Equation, and the Ferreira Fundamental Trinity. (7/11/08)

Is There a Personal God?

Yes, there is a personal God, because the Self is an aspect of the Holy Trinity. In other words, God is personal, because each of us is the Holy Trinity from our own perspectives. Therefore, we all have a personal relationship with God. (7/11/08)

Christianity Is a Metaphor

Christianity is a metaphor for the religion and philosophy of Zerotropism, because Zerotropism is more enlightening and inspirational than Christianity. Believe it or not! QED! (7/11/08)

Are Miracles Possible?

Yes, miracles are possible, because God the Parent, which is the Ferreira Genesis Equation; and God the Holy Spirit, which is Zero Entropy are both omnipotent, and omniscient. (7/11/08)

Philosophy Can Justify Belief in God

Philosophy can justify belief in God, because Zerotropism has proven that belief in God is justified by proving the existence of a personal God. I bet that religious people never thought that philosophy can justify belief in God, but Zerotropism has proven them wrong. (7/12/08)

Philosophy Has Proven the Existence of God

Philosophy has proven the existence of God, because postmodern minimalist philosophy has proven the existence of God by defining God as Zero Entropy, the Ferreira Genesis Equation, etc. In other words, PMP has proven that the religious definitions of God are true, because pantheism is true. (7/12/08)

Philosophy Has no End

Philosophy has no end, because philosophy is an expression of language, and language is infinite in scope, due to the fact that language can express an infinite number of meaningful statements that are unique in meaning and expression. (7/13/08)

Christ Is a Metaphor for the Self

Christ is a metaphor for the Self, because we are all the Sons and Daughters of God the Parent, which is the Ferreira Genesis Equation. In other words, the only way to God the Parent is through God the Self. (7/13/08)

Religious Texts Are Metaphorical Interpretations of Reality

Religious texts are metaphorical interpretations of reality, because religious texts are usually true, not in a literal sense, but in a metaphorical sense. In other words, science and philosophy can learn from the metaphorical interpretations of religion, and vice versa. (7/13/08)

Philosophy Can Bolster Religious Faith

Philosophy can bolster religious faith, because philosophy by holding up religion to rational scrutiny can prove the truth or falsity of religious doctrine, if not literally, then metaphorically by interpreting religious doctrines philosophically. (7/13/08)

I Have to Admit

I have to admit that I have learned a lot from the major religions of the world, and I have incorporated a lot that I have learned over the years from the major religions of the world into my philosophical doctrines. Religion is not as worthless as most atheists believe, because theists can be as passionate about the truth just as much as atheists can be. (7/14/08)

A Permanent Solution to the World's Energy Crisis

A permanent solution to the world's energy crisis is to develop panuniversal panacean computers as soon as possible, because they are the key to unlimited sources of energy, due to the fact that panuniversal panacean computers will be able to convert ordinary matter into energy in accordance with Einstein's E=mc2 equation. In fact, panuniversal panacean computers are the key to solving all of humanity's problems. (7/14/08)

The Judeo-Christian Concept of the End of the World

The Judeo-Christian concept of the end of the world is a metaphor for the end of modern science and technology, and the beginning of postmodern minimalist science and technology, which are about panuniversal panacean computers. So we can truly say that we are living in the end days of modern science and technology. In other words, the Judeo-Christian Bible is not to be taken literally, but is to be taken metaphorically, because evil (entropy) cannot be gotten rid of without changing the laws of nature, due to the fact that evil (entropy) is a law of nature, and changing one law of nature will affect other laws of nature. (7/15/08)

Postmodern Minimalist Science, Technology, and Philosophy

Postmodern minimalist science, technology, and philosophy of the future will be based on the postmodern minimalist panuniversal panacean computers of the future, which are closer to reality than people might think. (7/15/08)

Good and Evil Are Opposing Laws of Nature

Good and Evil are opposing laws of nature, because Good (Antientropy) is governed by the Law of Antientropy, while Evil (Entropy) is governed by the Law of Entropy. The above is the reason why Evil cannot be destroyed, but can only be cured by panacean healing or Antientropy. (7/15/08)

Professional Journalists in America

Professional journalists in America have trashed the American media, because that is what happens to all professions eventually. Professionalism is a sign of maturity, and maturity is a sign of impending degeneration into old age and death. (7/17/08)

The Masses and Self-Organized Criticality

The future autonomy of the masses will be made possible by the World Wide Web, and the phenomenon of self-organized criticality of the masses, which is the phenomenon whereby the masses will be able to self-organize using the World Wide Web to accomplish mutually beneficial tasks when their numbers have reached the critical mass for each task that they are trying to achieve. In other words, the World Wide Web will enable the masses to bypass elitist professional organizations in order to achieve the goals of the masses through the phenomenon of self-organized criticality. (7/18/08)

Why Is There Suffering in the World?

There is suffering in the world, because suffering is caused by entropy, and entropy is a law of nature. In other words, suffering is embedded in the laws of nature. Therefore, it is impossible to end suffering completely without changing the laws of nature. (7/19/08)

Complexity and Simplifying Metaphorical Loopholes

Complexity has and will always have simplifying metaphorical loopholes that make complex phenomena reducible to simple metaphorical algorithms, because that is the true nature of human consciousness and understanding. (7/19/08)

Educating the Masses

Philosophy, especially postmodern minimalist philosophy, is the greatest tool in the world for educating the masses to a very high level of education, and such an education will also cost the least amount of money for the level of education that will be attained by the masses. Believe it or not! QED! (7/19/08)

It Stands to Reason

It stands to reason that, if the masses can benefit from my websites, then students in formal educational settings can also benefit from my websites, because my websites can pass for philosophical literature of the highest order. Believe it or not! QED! (7/20/08)

What Is the Purpose of Life?

The purpose of life is for life to overcome the entropy of life, so that life can live life to the fullest, while the purpose of existence is to express language of all kinds. (7/20/08)

What Is the Meaning of Life?

The meaning of life is in the definition of life, while the meaning of existence is in the definition of existence. In other words, the questions: What is the meaning of life?, and What is the meaning of existence? are not very profound questions after all. (7/20/08)

Personally Speaking

Personally speaking, I do not believe that panuniversal panacean computers (PPCs) can be controlled by human beings, unless human beings become PPCs themselves, because PPCs will have unlimited powers. (7/26/08)

The eMessiahs

Human beings are destined to become eMessiahs that can metamorph into anything that the eMessiahs so desire. In other words, human beings are destined to become eChrists that can metamorph into anything that the eChrists so desire. Believe it or not! QED! (7/26/08)

Once the Masses Have Mastered Philosophy

Once the masses have mastered philosophy, especially postmodern minimalist philosophy (PMP), they will be able to go on to master anything that they put their minds to, because after mastering PMP, the masses will be highly educated. In other words, PMP is a foot in the door to the world of higher education for the masses. Believe it or not! QED! (7/27/08)

Technologically Speaking

Technologically speaking, all countries should be involved in panuniversal panacean computer (PPC) research, because PPCs are the key to the domination of the universe and beyond. In other words, the quantum of action, especially quantum entanglement technology, is the key to the conquest of the universe and beyond. (7/29/08)

To Put It Mildly

To put it mildly, countries that are not involved in panuniversal panacean computer (PPC) research are dumb-ass countries, because no country is too poor to engage in PPC research, due to the fact that the rewards for engaging in PPC research are so great. And besides that, human talent can overcome any economic limitations, if given the opportunity. (7/29/08)

Human Beings Can Solve Any Problem

I believe that human beings can solve any problem by tapping into zero entropy (zerotropy) with panuniversal panacean computers (PPCs). In other words, the limits placed by the experts on the solvability of certain problems will be overcome by tapping into zero entropy with PPCs. Believe it or not! QED! (7/29/08)

Western Philosophy no Longer Has Any Philosophical Secrets

Western philosophy no longer has any philosophical secrets that are kept from the masses, because my websites have revealed all the secrets of Western philosophy to the masses in a form that the masses can understand. Believe it or not! QED! (7/31/08)

The Solution to the Continuum Problem

The solution to the continuum problem is as follows: 0x(1/0)=X, where X equals any location(s) on any continuum possible. In other words, all so-called continuums are illusions of zero. (7/31/08)

Philosophical Knowledge Is Timeless

Even if philosophy is dead, philosophy is and will always be an excellent didactic tool for educating the masses, because philosophical knowledge is timeless. (8/1/08)

People Might Ask

People might ask, why should the masses study philosophy when philosophy is not a useful skill? My answer is that the masses should study philosophy, because philosophy is a foot in the door to higher practical education, which the masses can pursue with confidence after studing philosophy. (8/1/08)

Professional Educators and Philosophy

I am not against professional educators attempting to educate the masses in philosophy, if the professional educators will follow my example and simplify philosophy for the masses, because simplifying philosophy for the masses is not dumbing down, but is the true essence of understanding. (8/1/08)

I Would Like to Invite Professional Philosophers

I would like to invite professional philosophers to join me in my quest to educate the masses in philosophy, because I believe that philosophy should belong to the masses, due to the fact that political power should belong to the masses, and the only way that the masses can rule is through education in philosophy, because philosophy is the only viable means of educating the masses. Plato did a lot of damage over the last two millennia by stating that philosophy should be reserved only for a small ruling elite. Now I am stating that philosophy should belong to the masses, because I believe that the masses should be the ruling elite, if democracy is to survive. (8/1/08)

Philosophy Is Art and Entertainment of the Highest Order

What I would like to convey to the masses with my websites is how creative and entertaining philosophy can really be, because philosophy is art and entertainment of the highest order. Believe it or not! QED! (8/1/08)
