Forever glorious be that name of yours, O wise reader of my ideas, O distinguished guest of my thoughts, for it proves the indubitable existence of Reason!
The content of this site is inspired by Socrates, the wisest of the mortals and gods ever.
I worship no gods here, nor do I worship humans. I only draw your attention to Socrates' dialectical method: Everything is a unity of two opposites. At the very beginning of the end there is the very end of the beginning: Infinity and Nothingness. Expansion created by the Big-Bang followed by Implosion created by the Big-Crunch and so on for ever and never. If A is legitimate, non-A must have legitimacy as well. For there is no logical foundation for the expression only A is legitimate; or, only Opposite-A is legitimate. I synthesize these statements in the Fundamental Formula of Philosophy (FF0):
The first experience the visitor and reader has experienced tastes like drinking a glass of shock. The shock was stronger when I started this mission. My thoughts and the manner I expressed my ideas were poignantly new, aggressively original, and fearlessly challenging. Thanks to the thousands of gods who counseled human imagination, I did not have to live during the Inquisition. Thanks to the thousands of gods who tortured human imagination, I do not have to live in an Islamic nation. Thanks to Marx-Engels-Lenin for my successful escape from under Communism!
Change is the only constant in the Universe, as Heraclitus put it. The major change regarding this web site is the way it influenced that reaction of shock in the visitor and reader. My thoughts are now as appealing as the best of the red wines. I, the extraordinarily proportionate-in-thinking author, face now piracy and plagiarism of my creations. It is not that I have to fight nearly as hard as before to argue my case. My hardest effort now is required by actions against piracy and plagiarism of my ideas, theories, software, and gambling systems!
Meanwhile, I still face vicious attacks purposed at silencing me, or bringing me down, or, at least, inducing me into changing my mind. Mankind has always been driven by a formidable force described as homo homini lupus. Man is a wolf to man.
O tempora! O mores! Oh, the times! Oh, the habits! What times, O Cicero? Your rhetorical complaint has been the constant of all times. But we all humans have loved to pirate your adagio forever now…
You have seen in the banner a mention of the Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG). In other sections of this ebook, you will find the same formula named The Fundamental Formula of The Universe. The translation of the numerical relation into words becomes:
The Everything is Certainly Probable.
It all is the ever changing result of random interaction between Certainty and Probability. The formula was started by the French/English philosopher and mathematician Abraham de Moivre. The probability is very high that de Moivre stopped the formula in its incipient stage out of religious fear. The fundamental formula leads to the mathematical proof of the absurdity of the God concept. Absolute Certainty is an absolute absurdity mathematically. It is proven beyond doubt by the fundamental formula. Meanwhile, God's fundamental attribute is Absolute Certainty. Nothing is absolutely certain, but God. Therefore, God represents absolute absurdity!
I brought the fundamental formula down to earth. The random interaction of opposite forces specific to life is ruled by the fundamental principle I named Fear-Survival. The humans (Homo erectus first, then Homo sapiens) ascended from the animals. There is no debate here, amongst well-brained humans. The Fear-Survival principle created a very special species I name Human-Computing-Beast.
A greatest thinker, Aristotle, a disciple of Plato, who was a disciple of Socrates, defined the human species as Zoon politikon = City beast. Hence, Political beast. Hence, politics. I use the term beast rather than zoon, animal for a strong reason. Human evolution was not meant for the faint at heart. It took a strong and aggressive beast to rise from the jungle all the way to the Moon!
I preserved my writings at every step of my evolution. We must keep an audit of our evolution. We can learn a lot at every step, then we can learn even more in hindsight. And, of course, we must make changes when the Truth requires. Nothing and nobody must be above the truth.
This web site hosts an enormous volume of information. Please take your time to search and read as much as you can. It's worth your while, many have expressed. I created a special organizer of major pages (articles) by content. You will see a link in the footer named Sitemap, Content. There is also a special resource named New Writings, Pages. It used to be a message board. Now, it serves as the place where I announce my new writings. It makes it easy to navigate to the most important resources. Then, from there, the visitor can reach many other places of interest at this incredulously useful (albeit information-overloaded) website.

Philosophus Maximum Maximorum
The introduction to this web site was written in 1997 (it is now the year of grace 2007). It is an expression of automatic writing. I followed no planning when my journey started. Those poignant thoughts were in me. The thoughts raised me as the blue grass nurtures the speed in the colts.
These ideas are scattered all over this web site. Again, many, in the beginning, took these fundamental thoughts as shocking. Now, I have a hard time trying to protect them from piracy and plagiarism. That's why I have not yet published my entire opus magnus (a bombastically great piece of philosophy with a mathematical foundation).
You may not want to take any of the following actions before reading the writings of the axiomatic author of this web site:
~ Believe in any formula invalidated by data or concrete/logical facts.
~ Believe in superstitions or even gods.
~ Attack or blindly follow other humans, even if they claim divine status or aura of celestial tyranny — Dieux est mon droit!
~ Look at yourself in the mirror and believe you are the alpha and omega of the human race.
~ Look at yourself in the mirror and believe you are nothing—in truth, you are an extraordinary result of Probability, the favorite game of
Almighty Number.
~ Create another piece without knowing what Divine Proportion is all about.
~ Complete that huge puzzle of life without knowledge of permutations, combinations, and everything combinatorics.
~ Enter a casino and gamble in a casino.
