Binary Prophets
Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2026 8:42 pm
Today, there are six recognizable prophets.
The foundation of the Bible.
Plato.
Euclid.
The computer,
and me.
One could add a seventh, the definition of a thing as a relative within correlatives.
Historically, humanity denies it. Things are too complex! binary cannot handle it all! they say, while making up absurd myths about everything. Now, you can argue with the Bible, because it is complex. You can argue with Plato, because he was one of the most intelligent persons in history. You can argue with Euclid and the work called the Elements, which has been modified by many hands.
You can argue with me.
But, now that you are dependent on the computer, I suggest you argue with it.
And, typical of simple minded people, never consider that it is actually you who cannot judge things, as Confucius said, in accordance with the truth of things.
How can you speak the truth about things, when every thing is a binary construct which you do not even know how to parse into binary assertions and denials?
You can spout your bull shit to the computer all day long, it will not hear you.
