About this ebook
The first essay upholds the views of Pythagoras regarding commensurable units. Non-Euclidean geometry is critiqued. A cubic view of existence is offered intimating that the Holy of Holies and the Kaaba hold their sway over men's minds based on this truth. The second essay offers a theory or algorithm based upon pushing forces and rejects invisible attractive forces as a reasonable explanation for invisible action at a distance. It offers the suggestion that harmonic transformation of matter is possible by utilizing electromagnetic energy in ways only intimated at to date. The third essay suggests that the mind can use multiple kinds of language based on sight, sound, voice, smell and taste. It suggests this would produce super-intelligent men. The fourth essay speculates that terraforming the earth is possible and could leave us with a new Garden of Eden. The fifth essay deals with the ways in which perception could be and is manipulated to lead men to false conclusions. It carries the argument over to ethical questions and honesty between men. The sixth essay deals with famous paradoxes and the explanations that can explain them. A major theme is the difference between stated facts and stated intent. The seventh essay returns to the debate between nominalism and realism, siding with the realists. This essay repeats and amplifies mathematical and metaphysical notions in the prior essays. The eighth essay upholds the reasonableness of deism against atheism using mathematics and metaphysics to do so. A supplementary article attacks the problem of irrational numbers and transfinite numbers from another perspective. Many of the same arguments are used in these essays but explained somewhat differently. The points are important and need to be worked over and over in the mind to get the reader on the right track. The ultimate intent of this compilation is to free men's minds from error and open up the golden road of truth, straight and narrow, leading to a pleasant world that men have so long pined away for.
Edward E. Rochon
I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
