God Is Mathematics: The Proofs of the Eternal Existence of Mathematics

Most people think they're smart. But what does it mean to be smart? Do smart people think conventionally? Schopenhauer wrote, "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see." Geniuses can make connections others cannot even conceive. So, if you imagine you're one of the clever ones, what targets are you aiming at? If you're aiming at an invisible target - invisible to the masses - the first thing they will say to you is, "There's nothing there. You're a fool." They will troll you. They will subject you to all the muck they can throw at you. That's the way they roll. Amongst the worst trolls are scientific empiricists who aim for a target everyone can see, the surest sign of anti-genius.

Geniuses never wait for public approval. They don't expect to be understood. If the masses had a clue what a genius was talking about, the person would not be a genius.

The highest geniuses will never be popular. They will never be successful. Their ideas will be ignored or trashed. They will get no support. They will be permanent outsiders. That's the price of peerless genius. As Nietzsche said, "The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly." The true geniuses have soared so high, they have reached the vanishing point.

Machiavelli said, "It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out nor more doubtful of success nor more dangerous to handle than to initiate a new order of things; for the reformer has enemies in all those who profit by the old order, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit by the new order; this lukewarmness arising partly from the incredulity of mankind who does not truly believe in anything new until they actually have experience of it."

A genius is always in the business of initiating a new order of things. Geniuses are those that change the paradigm, but the supporters of the existing paradigm don't want the paradigm to be changed, so are forever opposed to geniuses. The powers-that-be are never going to surrender their power, so will never be on the side of geniuses. They usually want to discredit and marginalize geniuses, and even kill them off.

How can a genius persuade the masses when the masses have no clue what the genius is saying, no interest in what the genius is saying, and are fully invested in whatever paradigm the genius is seeking to overthrow? The last people of use to the genius are the masses.

In Ibsen's play "An Enemy of the People", the protagonist Dr. Stockmann said, "The most insidious enemy of truth and freedom among us is the solid majority. Yes, the damned, solid, liberal majority - that's it! Now you know." Geniuses are never democrats. Democrats are always the opposition. The democrats of Athens executed Socrates for his troubles.

What's the most radical idea possible, the one least likely to be understood by humanity, the one that is so far beyond humanity's level of intelligence that whoever champions it is likely to be regarded as insane? Go on, if you're smart you ought to be conceive of a connection so unobvious, so invisible to the masses, so improbable in relation to any other idea, that it will be almost universally rejected. That idea - despised, mocked and reviled by practically everyone - will be the No.1 candidate for the answer to existence.

If you're not one of the masses, if you're supremely open-minded, then this book will present you with the proof of the case that existence is 100% mathematical, and that this is the sole way for reality to be intelligible and have a definitive answer.

"This book belongs to the most rare of men. Perhaps not one of them is yet alive." - Nietzsche
