If we regard judging and perceiving as being as fundamental to an individual’s character as extraversion or introversion, then there’s a fundamental contradiction present in all Myers-Briggs personality types. Thinking and feeling should always be associated with judging since they are judging functions. Sensing and intuition should always be associated with perceiving since they are…

The Keirsey Temperaments Closely associated with Myers-Briggs personality types are the so-called Keirsey Temperaments devised by David Keirsey. Whereas Myers-Briggs focused on extraversion versus introversion, Keirsey put the stress on sensing versus intuition i.e. whether we process the world perceptually or conceptually. He created four groups called the Guardians, Artisans, Rationalist and Idealists: SJ –…

“Know thyself” is the philosophical maxim that is well known to be inscribed over the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. While the original attribution of the phrase is widely disputed, its earliest historical references include the writings of the Seven Sages of Greece, who were legendary statesmen and philosophers of the 6th century BCE and…

The system we advocate may be called public or social capitalism. Its central idea is that rather than capital being concentrated in the hands of a tiny number of super rich, it is relatively evenly distributed across society. Profits do not go exclusively to the privileged elite but instead to everyone – or at least…

Only a crisis — actual or perceived — produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes politically inevitable.

In previous weeks, I’ve presented some “elevator pitches” that can serve as avenues for introducing Illuminism to someone by starting with ideas they are already familiar with. All of these pitches describe a few ideas that are fundamental to illumination and touch on subsequent ideas where the conversation can continue if interest is shown. But…

If we were to name the ten philosophers that are essential to understanding existence they would be: Pythagoras, Parmenides, Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Descartes, Leibniz, Kant and Hegel. Then they need to be subjected to the mathematics of Euler, Gauss, Fourier and Riemann. Following that, they need to be considered in the context of the…

The soul is an eternal, immaterial, dimensionless mathematical information system (a Fourier frequency singularity), comprising mathematical energy (which is simply analytic sine and cosine waves, which have complementary symmetry properties). It’s defined by the God Equation, which is the mathematical basis of Fourier mathematics, quantum mechanics and holography.

This week, we will be taking another look at building an elevator pitch for Illuminism and Ontological Mathematics. This time, we’ll be imagining the person we are in dialog with is someone who is generally familiar with and enjoys learning about philosophy. They may even label themselves as a philosopher – a lover of wisdom! …

This new religion, this rationalist religion, is for all logicians, philosophers, mathematicians and scientists. It’s based on Gödel’s “14 points”. You don’t have to place any faith in this new religion. In fact, you definitely shouldn’t. It’s completely opposed to faith and mysticism. It’s a religion of pure a priori rationalism. It uses reason and…
