You are merely spouting your uninformed and inept bias for mathematics as if mathematics is some sort of omnipotent, omniscient God. The insistence on this sort of claim is insulting your own intelligence.godelian wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 4:43 amScience is certainly useful, but my own personal interest is in mathematics. Science is about experimental testing. I do not intend to buy lab equipment to experimentally test things. Therefore, I do not feel particularly included in the process. Mathematics is different. It is pure abstraction. No need to buy test equipment.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 4:29 am What was Newton, Einstein, Bohr in Physics and all other scientists good at other than provide theoretical knowledge.
You cannot be that ignorant that theoretical science and other fields of knowledge has contributed to humanity in terms of real utilities.
Kant was inept, and not just in mathematics. He was the nonsense-spouting king of ineptitude.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 4:29 am Kant in fact had a one-up on all the philosophers before him.
Kant is often polled at the top as the greatest philosopher of all times.
We never refer to Kant in mathematics, because he has contributed absolutely nothing of value to the field. As I have pointed out previously, his argument about the undefinability of existence is merely absurd nonsense. When Kant occasionally writes something actionable, it does not stand up to scrutiny. What progress could ever come from Kant's rampant ineptitude?Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 4:29 am Many of Kant's thoughts had been translated into practices that has benefited humanity.
Kant's vision and mission will provide an efficient model for humanity to progress toward the future.
The entire field of mathematics has been ignoring Kant for two centuries now. His inept ramblings on mathematics are not quoted or even mentioned anywhere. He is rightfully considered the king of the idiots. Did we really miss anything? In that case, what exactly?
Mathematics is merely tool which has its limitations:
The foundational crisis of mathematics
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundatio ... nal_crisis
Besides there is nothing practically positive with mathematics until it is applied as a tool by some [not all] fields of knowledge.
To date it is evident science is the most productive of knowledge where mathematics is merely a tool used in science.
Kant never claimed to be a mathematician at all.
So how can one expect Kantian to be a notable figure in the field of mathematics.
Kant is a philosopher and recognized as one of the greatest philosopher of all times. That you condemned Kant without basis merely insults your own intelligence.
