Dear Reader,
Reproduced
below is one
of Karl Seldon’s core
characterizations
about the ideological
core of our Modern «mentalité», and of the kind of human-social world
that we tend
to reproduce, as
a result of that «mentalité»,
as our objectification of that «mentalité», including of the Modern ideology that it contains [E.D.
edits applied] --
“The development, by Terran humanity, of the explicitly
dialectical,
“purely” qualitative, and ‘qualo-quantitative’, dimensions/[sub-]Domains
of mathematical
‘phonetico-picto-ideography’, starting with/from the arithmetics of those dialectical-mathematical
‘phonetico-picto-ideographies’, has been -- albeit
predictably -- ‘psychohistorically retarded’,
since the last Dark Ages,
throughout our Modern,
or capitalist, epoch, to date.”
“That is, this ‘psychohistorical retardation’
has continued throughout the long historical arc -- still present and ongoing/unfolding -- of our Modern society: ‘‘‘the society
found[er]ed upon the exchange value’’’.
This has been due, at root, to the cell-form
of the Modern human «praxis» of ‘‘‘universal alienation’’’ [of universal selling, including that kind of ‘self-selling’
that is Modern wage-labor,
i.e., sold labor-power -- “alienated labor”], and that, at the «arché» of his dialectical, immanent critique of the Modern ideology, Karl Marx named
“The Elementary Form of Value”, the «arché» of his entire opus of “The Critique of Political
Economy”.
This cell-form
of Modern human «praxis» -- that unconsciously but intensively
inculcates the “purely”-quantitative, concrete social use-value denigrating and neglecting, ultimately social use-value destroying,
social reproduction destroying «mentalité», and
the ‘socio-econo-political’ ideologies founded
upon the habitual human experience(s) of that «praxis» -- is the «praxis» that ultimately induces this ‘psychohistorical retardation’.
Its most distilled ideological expression
is the system of
the so-called
“Natural”
Numbers --
N = { 1, 2, 3,
...}
-- which form an arithmetical system of “pure”, unqualified quantifiers.”
“This
«arché» of Modern human «praxis » unconsciously inculcates, daily,
incessantly, the exchange-equation
of qualitatively different Goods\Commodities, apparently by Monetary
“pure” quantity alone,
i.e., by a price-quantity of [qualitative] units of money whose deeper ‘socio-ontological’ quality, which it has in common with both of the Commodities that are party, via their human personifications, to the “Elementary” core of such exchanges [i.e., Monetary units unconsciously tending, due to competition, to reflect the presently typically socially
necessary abstract human labor-time needed to presently reproduce those Commodities], is typically unknown to the human participants therein -- unknown without, and prior to, comprehending the deepest human analyses of our own, Modern-human, capital-social-relation(s)-driven
«praxis» that Terran
humanity has so far produced.”
“In particular, this Modern human «praxis», in its unconscious cognitive consequences,
has blocked the ‘Full Zero’
insight, which leads to the solution
of the easier “half”
of the ‘dynamical non-linearity
problem’, that obviates the
division-by-zero “infinite”-singularity problem
of non-linear-dynamical
integro-differential equation-model expressions
of, e.g., the “laws”
of Nature, when, in our seventh axioms-system
of dialectical arithmetic-algebra, ideographical
metrological unit qualifiers are ‘‘‘nullified’’’
via their zero
multiplication -- that is, via their multiplication by the zero quantifier, 0, i.e., by the ideogram that
we call ‘Empty Zero’,
producing the ‘Hrydyamic’, ‘Langoliers-like’, ‘qualo-quantitative’ value that we call ‘Full Zero’, ..”
“The ‘psychohistorical developmental arrestation’
of arithmetical
“Monadic”-qualifiers-including,
‘qualo-quantitative’ ideography at the archaic stage of “syncopated algebra”, a proto-algebra probably first attained in Diophantus of
Alexandria’s circa 250 C.E. scroll,
entitled Arithmetica, with its Mo [«Mu^omicron»]
syncopated arithmetical qualifier symbol,
together with the retardation
of the development
of Maxwellian+ “dimensional analysis” in physics -- i.e., the retardation of the arithmetical and analytical ideography
of metrological unit qualifiers and of
their quantification; of quantifiable unit-of-measure qualifier ideograms
-- which still to this day languishes at the “syncopated algebra” stage of Diophantus’s, ancient, only proto-algebraic, only proto-ideographical work [e.g., our contemporary physical-mathematical
use of “cm.”, “gm.”, “sec.”], have both contributed to this retardation, and have
impacted human cognition as further
expressions of our Modern,
“purely”-quantitative, ‘quantifiers-only’
«mentalité»
-- a «mentalité» about mathematical ideography,
and about the whole
of [Modern]
life/reality; seeding the whole of the “orthodox” Modern
worldview.”
