On ''what there is''

The question looks ''philosophical'' in the sense of ''what exist?''. In the old terminology ''ontology question''.
The modern formulation (by Quine) is: ''what are the values of your variables''? In our hobby ''what are
the new available components''?  Can one person know what are available components? Obviously not
but we have ''collective knowledge''. Each contribution is welcome. Like in science. But like in science there
are individuals with special contributions. Raul with his MM contributions and his ''successor'' chakster
with his contributions about ''both kinds'': MC's and MM's. Despite his ''modest means''. I think we should
be thankful to have such individuals.

i prefer to think that Dietrich Bonhoeffer had better to say and importantly DO. Sad we didn’t get the expected outcome…..
 You are right here....

 A giant.... but history is not finished yet....

 Some dont think that consciousness exist... For me death dont exist, suffering only exist...The body is a marvellous speck of dust...Nothing more...

Fact is just a particular probability density function, fleeting as that might be… Even the so called God Particle lives but a short “ life “.
Facts are way more hard and comes from a way more deep layer of meaning than probability function... :)

I recomment to you the books of Bernard Mandelbrot and his disciple : Nassim Nicholas Taleb...

And quantum theory is an expression of ultimate consciousness not his root...

Materialism die suddenly with Planck first and Heisenberg....Journalist had not noted that yet... :)

By the way there is 2 sigificant event in my life : love and prime numbers distribution....Bach is the sum of the 2 for me in music....Sun RA is an "error" i will die to keep with me....

Anyway yeah, I am thankful we have Raul and chakster. We now return you to the thread with the most entertainingly misleading title ever.

Gustave Giuliaume is the greatest, Goete is the greatest,
Goedel is also the greatest and Einstein also.
While we are comparing ''analog stuff'' to discover which is
the best we must recognise that statements like ''Peter is
the longest guy in the class but George is even longer'' make
no sense. There is also this Roman nonsense about ''primus
inter pares'' . This is accepted all over the world as Roman
''principle '' but how is it possible that all are equal ?
That is why Frege stated that ''subject'' and ''predicate''
as grammar categories are not suitable for the science. 
That is why he wanted to produce language suitable for
science. Regarding relational statement which presuppose
more ''subjects'' than one he proposed functions with two
or more arguments. If I am well informed this is used in
mathematics. Alas mathematics is my ''Achilles heel''.
