Like a child, facinated with very large numbers, while having no notion of what 1 is.

Soon I will post how to multiply and divide a line by a line--never been done before, this means that dispite all the talk in geometry itself has been from people, like Einstein, who could not even do the four basic moves in arithmetic with it. Now, I ask, how is it, that people sought the delian solution, or angle division, when they could not do the simple math?

Like you, they believed they knew what they did not.
Ok, first off, a tip on communication: it is supposed to be a bridge between 2 people. You post like you are talking to yourself. Not because you use "big words," but because you seem to make little effort to ground your ideas in a way that are relatable to other people. You honestly think people know what you mean when you say "universal mental masturbation" and don't explain yourself? And instead of explaining yourself when I reply to your comment you basically say that my own logic is too infantile for my own ideas? You come off as pretty pompous.

Secondly, I can see a little of where you are coming from as far as your mindset. Logic, reason, philosophical deduction. Which is all good and fine, however there are ways to attain knowledge that don't come purely through logic. I know reality is consciousness because I have seen it, as sure as you have seen your hands in front of you. It wasn't deduced, it was just shown to me. Which will cause you to dismiss the idea even more, which is fine that's a natural reaction; however my point is I didn't arrive at such an idea through some logical train of thought, as you imply in your post.

You seem like a smart guy, make an effort to adapt your communication style based on the person you are communicating with and I bet you could get into some really good discussions with people that wouldn't be so one sided.
