Unicode versions of the Gospel of Thomas are rare. Before support of Coptic characters, publishers used makeshift fonts to render Coptic characters. I’ve scraped pre-Unicode publications and converted to modern Unicode.
A critique of transhumanism and the mistaken idolatry of conquering outer space. Socrates is a man, but so what? Socrates did not become a man as he always was a man as long as he was mortal. We were simply unaware of it until our deduction. What does such knowledge achieve? Science begins with an…
Logic is considered to be the only means to derive truth. The argument goes: “truth requires a logical argument” or “any argument against logical necessity for truth requires logic itself, so logic can never be dismissed“. This is true if we define truth to be that which is determined by logic. However, this is a…
The mystery of experience hides knowledge.The experience is the only provable existence.Thus, it is the foundation upon which all truths can be built. The experience renders an ego,the seeming sense of self inside flesh.The flesh is made of matter and the fleshresides in dead flesh, namely the dust. The flesh is dust, the dust is…

A type of thing will be referred to formally as a quality set, in that it is a set of distinctive qualities one identifies as being fulfilled. For example, a cat is quality set regarding the slenderness of the nose, the…
For any phenomena to possess a characteristic means that it exhibits at least some consistent effect on associated phenomena. It is good enough to realise a posteriori that the effect probably exists, given that we do not have an infinite sample. However, its consequences on surrounding phenomena is consistent enough to give it the benefit…
The act of philosophy is reasoning. Reasoning can take any fundamental premise and produce greater composite propositions. For example, a mathematician might begin with . From here he may derive composite arithmetical processes, algebra, and even calculus. Such fundamental premises do not have to be as low-level as basic addition. For example, a Christian apologist…
I don’t agree that Mathis’ model of the atom is correct however I like to entertain alternative models as a mental exercise (just as it’s fun to attempt to prove a flat-earth despite that it’s obviously not the case). Based on Mathis’ stacked spin model and Nevym’s angle velocities and closely comparing to his simulations, here…
