Geomancy

Maths is far more exciting than how it is taught. I always thought math teachers liked it because it was definite and therefore simple unlike the arts which is subjective and obscure therefore difficult. As such I found it interesting that maths teachers were always so proud of how undeviating their minds were.
Lewis Carol writer of Alice’s adventures in wonderland was a deviant and a mathematician though known for his work on matrices. Yet it never gets mentioned in all the studies of mathematics I was forced to endure throughout my highschool years. In fact in maths the marketer came out in me where I had to determine probabilities of receiving Pamala Anderson and Kurt Kobain trading cards and I failed a section by suggesting that they were targeting mutually exclusive demographics this far after the event s of 1994 and that demand would plummet anyway skewing the probabilities (which is wrong anyway) and you should never slap down a maths teacher who is trying to be cool.
Later on I concluded I struggled in maths because it was boring. So I went to the library and looked for some reading on it. There was just about none and most of it was very dry but I thought the greek mathematicians ought to be interesting. Pythagoras is the biggest nut of all time. Apart from being particularly spectacular at triangles and trigonometry he was leader of a cult at odds with Jesus Christs movement. He had forebade beans eating, sleeping on sheets and masturbation. The used the pentagram as their symbol as it naturally forms the golden ratio (this was sacred knowledge contained for the cults benefit and became a heretic symbol now worn by loser Goths at flinders st station).
Des Cartes namesake of the Cartesian plane came up with the metaphysical proof ‘I think therefore I am’ which remains the closest evidence produced by anyone that reality exists. He also argued that the properties of god similar to the mathematical properties of a triangle meant that if he can conceive of a triangle it exists, and he can conceive but not envision a chilliagon though he knows it exists then by extension god must exist which remains as flimsy a proof as it was then.
I’ve been trying to read Goedel, Escher, Bach an eternal Golden Brain to show my housemate I am interested in whatever it is he does. It’s interesting although there isn’t enough sex and violence in the narrative to really draw me in just a toirtoise and Achilles who simmer with unwholesome sexual tension and manage to talk down at me. But still they show as most evident in Bach and Eschers work what cool shit can be done by mathematics. Yet we study logs, parabolas, exponentials and derivatives. Goedel probably isn’t tought because he proved that under any formal number system their will be equations that can’t be proven or solved such as root 2 which caused Archimedes to pull his own head off. Or the elusive but tasty pi.
I heard someone say that philosophy in it’s purest form is mathematics, but I’m always wary of people who talk about purity, they’re either dumb naïve fucks who drink bottle water at 800% mark up full of ‘purefying chemicals’ that destroy natural springs thinking that Melbourne water is bad like Mexico Cities water. Or they are the type of guy that stalks girls and then get psychotically distressed when they go on a date compromising their ‘purity’ but then go home and watch german porn over the internet every night.
So Again maths could be interesting because some really strange people have looked at really strange concepts over the years. Geomancy is the belief in the magical properties of mathematics its kind of like feng shui but reserved for complete wankers.
