On The Self-Stupefying Normalization Phenomenon Within Cognitive SystemsorWhy You’re Smarter Than Everyone Around YouSven Gelbhaar3.04.2019 Either Civilization or Cognition.If people were able, willing, and allowed to think, society would schism.People wouldn’t put up with half the things that they do now because they wouldthink through, around, and over them. People would demand decent housing:housing that […]

Moral Capitalism: The FoundationSven Gelbhaar26.03.2019 Capitalism, in its current state, neglects to find intrinsic value (to theindividual). We used to believe in this concept when money was backed byprecious metals, which were thought to have innate, intrinsic value. The commonsaying concerning valuation is that something is worth as much as someone willpay for it. This

Beyond IncompletenessSven Gelbhaar24.03.2019 Back in 1910-1927CE, an attempt was made to enumerate all conceivablemathematical knowledge in one cohesive system. This resulted in the /PrincipiaMathematica,/ wherein premises were postulated, and their results or conclusionswere then utilized by subsequent entries to arrive at a list — a cohesive listof all mathematical functions and their abstract derivatives. As

The Winner’s Rendition of Game TheorySven Gelbhaar1/12/2019 Let’s say that you are a soldier in WW2, and that you have gleaned an adequateamount of winning strategies that you and your fellow soldiers could apply.How much of these do you share with the new recruits? If you gave them all your hard-won knowledge, then you no

On Infinities in PhysicsSven Gelbhaar9/1/2019 The point has been brought up that the inverse square law mandates that masshas infinite attraction, either via electromagnetic force, or gravity (whichmy paper on /Unified Force Theory/ postulates is an emergent property of theformer). This would invoke a singularity: a point where things go toinfinities, but “nature abhors a

There’s truth, and then there’s TruthSven Gelbhaar10:10 AM 1/2/2019 It appears as though the calling of the intellectual class isto romanticize and validate the struggles and achievements(past, present, future) of the other classes. We see this withcontemporary philosophy, literature, and even in physics (whichI’ll focus on here). In Physics there is something called the Heisenberg

On RightsSven Gelbhaar12:51 PM 11/28/2018 With the amount of laws and statutes being drafted and enacted every year, perhaps it’s time we as a society focus on rights, which the laws etc are slowly erroding. There are Natural Rights and then there are Legal Rights. Natural rights are derived from either god, gods, and/or nature.

The Status_quo is a series of conventions. Conventions allow usto have greater predictability in so-and-such a situation, but theyalso outline what we should expect to occur. The Positivists /“the glass is half full” people have altered their perception ofreality to the point where they will never expect, and thereforenever achieve, a better outcome to manifest

The federal government is good only at forcing solutions thatwork well in one particular locale onto every conceivable subsidiary.What works well for — say — New York City, might not beappropriate for Willow, Alaska. More to the point: gun laws for innercities shouldn’t mean a damn to the last frontier state who has tocontend not

Behind the NumbersSven Gelbhaar05.11.2018 Beauty in Mathematics comes from — among other things — concision. To thatend, allow me to reduce the original equation for the solving of a perfectsquare using just addition and subtraction into something that looks a lot moreconcise. The original formula published back in April of 2011 was: X² = (x-1)
