A Few Philosophical Ideas Related to Work Ethics, Scientific and Mathematical Reasoning, and Metaphysical Reflections

IKIGAI

Japanese words 'iki' (to live) and 'gai' (reason)
IKIGAI refers to a passion that gives value and joy to life
Passions are the activities that make time fly by and cause you to feel excited and alive
Vocation: Your skills and strengths are those things that you naturally excel at that might not come as easily to others
Mission: helps you explore the needs of the world and where you can make a difference
Your profession is where you look at how to make a living from your passion and mission.

The Learning Curve: Dunning-Kruger Effect

After you Start Learning, What Happens to confidence?

After learning a few things, you become extremely confident, and thus you rise to the 'mount of stupidity'
You proceed and you realize, you are of no practical use in that field/have nothing to add, you are now in a 'valley of despair'
But you are resilient and keep going, you are getting truly enlightened day by day
Keep going slowly, now with time, you have reached the Plateau of sustainability

Mathematical Philosophy

Here is a short list of the main statements of the School of Mathematical Philosophies

Pythagoreanism

The world is created by numbers ( special evolution of Platonism )

Ultimate ensemble

All computable structures exist.--Max Tegmark

Monism

Exists mathematically means exists physically.

Psychologism

Mathematical statements are grounded in deep psychological laws.

Intuitionism

There is no non-experienced mathematical truth.

Embodied mind theory

Mathematical thought is a natural outgrowth of human cognitive apparatus that finds itself in the physical universe.

Finitism

A mathematical object does not exist unless it can be constructed from natural numbers.

Mathematical realism

Mathematical entities exist independently of the human mind. thus humans can invent mathematics rather than discover it.

Platonism

Mathematical entities are eternal, unchanging, abstract, and have no spatio-temporal or causal properties. The everyday world can only be approximated imperfectly as an unchanging ultimate reality

Empiricism

Mathematics cannot be known a priori at all. We discover mathematics by empirical research.

Logicism

Logic is the foundation of mathematics and all mathematical statements are necessary for logical truth.

*The theorems of mathematics can be derived from logical axioms through purely logical deduction

Formalism

Mathematics is thought of as statements about some string manipulation rules. [ Backbenchers Philosophy😄]
