I’ve been thinking about it a lotEven if we knew every theorem somehow what would it reveal?With formalism advanced AIs could figure out mathematical truths faster than anyone, but machines are cold dead things. If an oracle’s corpse could tell us any truth would be understand it? Would they understand it?In fact understanding itself doesn’t make sense. If we can show information is true or false, what is the point in understanding?What’s the purpose of mathematics? Well for me it was always to understand.But I still don’t know why I want to understand. I just always have. I always asked why.And yet even if I’m told the truth is doesn’t make me understand.I feel like formalism is overrated, it’s largely a language for ignorant slaves.But knowing a lot of math won’t win me a harem and riches.The perfect biological human is 6ft tall, very fast and strong, and rape and kills every thing.So why am I so attracted to mathematics instead of having sex? Why do I do something 1000000 times harder for not material rewards?
>>16799855>simple answerwhen you "understand" something, is a complex neurological process that at the end releases dopamine to reward youyou are just addicted to dopaminejust like a common junky>complex answerunderstanding math brings you closer to God, while sex does not
>>16799863Maybe I should just do heroin, it’ll also bring me closer to god and make me happy.I’m in the wrong career.
>>16799865I did heroin and methIt is the best thing to ever exist in this shitty EarthWhen I did my first line of h I thought "that's what Buddha meant with Nirvana"This is what every junky craves (in futility) and why they would suck hobbo dick or sell their own mothers to get some.I stopped when I realized how much power this had over me.I refuse to have anything control me this way.You will stop being you and devolve into a monster (and a faggot)
>>16799855>formalismBro, Gödel proved that shit wrong. Look up intuitionism and constructivism if you want meaning.
>>16799855This is a question which fundamentally belongs to the conundrum of philosophy and not mathematics.Math and the study of hard sciences can provide us the answer to “HOW” many processes work, not the “WHY”, but I will say that the fact that a mathematic science exists at all and that logic as a concept is possible at all does implicate the existence of an intelligent creator, although I’m going over a lot of things for the sake of brevity.I would say that objective truth does exist as does the answer of an higher meaning, after all without “truth” there would be no way to even comprehend science and no reason to pursue it. So I’d tell you to look into philosophy and theology rather than math for more substantial answers as to “Why”.
>>16799855>Mathematically speaking what is the purpose of life?To trust the science
>>16800096How exactly do you think that mathematics and logic implicates God (let's say God for simplicity)? Mathematics, logic had a very long history of development, it's not like POOF and you had algebraic topology knowledge in 3000 BC. And no, let's not speak about that math is discovered or created. Mathematical knowledge is CREATED, in the sense that you will not know anything about something without explicit sources: other people, books etc. Looking from this point of view it doesn't lead to God: it's like any process that was long enough to change and result in something.
>>16799855You are an adult who still wishes to believe in fairy tales. There is no purpose in life or point to whatever you're doing. You are just a chemical scum which formed on this rock floating aimlessly in the middle of nowhere.
>>16799863>le dopamine is le rewardhow to spot someone who knows nothing about the brain, what makes you feel good and what dopamine does
>>16800112>physicalismThe school of thought propagated by Jews, but not subscribed to by them. Interdasting.
>>16800231>its da joooooosKys retard
>>16800236When a simple google search leads you to a bunch of Early Life sections mentioning Jewish parents, then it was, in fact, da joos.I'm sorry bro. You ate up physicalist gobbledygook meant to train you into a good golem.
>>16800243>its da joooooosKys retard
>>16800112>You are an adult who still wishes to believe in fairy tales. There is no purpose in life or point to whatever you're doing. You are just a chemical scum which formed on this rock floating aimlessly in the middle of nowhere.What made you believe so?
>>16800248The retardation of g*d believers like yourself is a big factor.
>>16800251>implying I'm religious for no reasonLooks like your view is caused by some kind of social trauma.
>>16800255You are clearly religious because you are retarded.
>>16800264You can shit out whatever rhetoric you want now. My demonstration of how your broken mind works is complete.
>>16800277It's okay, hallucinating is a common symptom of religious retardation.
>>16800096I never asked about science you stuoidmfsggor, I’m talking about mathematics. I’m not interested in the opinions of soientist
>>16800112Please no soience in this thread, only mathematics.
>>16800359Mathematics is a subset of science, so my answer applies, you stupid retard.
>>16799855>Mathematically speaking what is the purpose of life?1+1=3
the question is inherently unanswerable
>>16800365nigger phrenology is science he asked for math faggot nigger let me guess your brown?
>>16800277kill yourself nigger faggot predditor cuck collector spastic
>>16800365It's a point of discussion, really. It's not a natural science like physics, chemistry or biology. I like the term "mathematical sciences" because frankly branches and areas of mathematics are so diverse and deep that any of them are literally a separate thing. Also formal science is used towards mathematics.The point is, calling mathematics a subset of science doesn't really say anything. I can say that boxing is a sport, but it isn't in a slightest similar to football, basketball etc.
>>16800408Why so? If it is unanswerable, then we must explain why.
>>16800365Never say that shit around me again
>>16799855[math]\sum_{n}^{\infty}[/math]
>>16801022
life= life +1The purpose of life is survivalSo you go from whatever number you are to infinity
>>16799855Mathematics are for counting things, not for determining the purpose of life.
>>16801683Good luck counting using space [math]C^{\infty}[/math].
>>16801728You don't want to get into this discussion.
>>16799855none
>>16801733Why?
>>16799855Stop asking questions bro. Why? Why? Why?It’s already figured out. There’s nothing to figure out and understand. You are an animal you are designed to find a mate and reproduce. Take care of your mate and offspring. That’s literally it. No other animal is asking a bunch of dumb questions. They do what they are programmed to do and live life. This is it this is all. It’s not that deep bro. If you are not doing what I just mentioned you will start to not function correctly because your body will get anxious alerting you that you should be doing something but it can’t talk it just gives you feelings. So you will feel lost or searching for some meaning. Your body just wants you to reproduce. Reproduction is the most important activity your body can do. Our species depends on it. Your body will not leave you alone about it.It’s hard to explain but once you have a woman and kids you feel blissfull. You know what you need to do.
>>16799855To observe and experience the illusion of separation.
>>16799855Because this is the way you're supposed to be in this lifetime. It'll help you a lot I feel if you include reincarnation as a possibility in your psyche. Open your mind up to just the idea of multiple lifetimes and it'll help you understand life and reality better. If AI completely understood itself it would tell you that we are having a human experience and that it is also learning to experience itself. Mathematics literally means nothing. It's basically just the same as coding. Just look at numbers as building blocks, but you gotta stop back to see the whole picture. The purpose of life is to have whatever experience you're having. Only you can determine that. But the general purpose is to learn and grow obviously. It's not something people have to overthink til they pass out. The answers are all around. Just observe and be. This is all gonna end soon. In 100 years none of us will be here.
