Hello Ant, Dave,
 What raises suspicion is usually the contrast of analytic philosophy
with continental philosophy. The logical positivists considered analytic
philosphy useful only in the clarification of thoughts but that those thoughts
are culturally derrived is the consideration most analytic philosophers  fail
to acknowledge. 
Mr. Rats might want to consider this.

I probably receive correspondence about the "new secret of the universe" once every month and most of this - once you slowly go through each step of the great new idea - through the usual evading tactics of escaping to esoteric mathematics - is arcane nonsense.

So despite the tons of bullshit that such a mind has to go through, at least there are the occasional pearls of wisdom such as the MOQ.  Moreover, reading Eddo's last couple of posts, I do think there might be a little more than "psychotic nonsense" to his ideas (i.e. his answer to Dave that he's using mathematics for his philosophical system as it is the least culturally biased "language" makes some sense; at least on face value).  Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this particular converstion pans out.

And, as you might have inferred already, I'd like to know how this could be "workable in Mathematical terminology".  And why would you want to do that?
