i so agree with this; thankyou! it's good to know that someone's travelled this path before, mapped it out and come out enlightened. I think i'm at stage three :)
Tin Do commented on What is the role of Philosophy in the 21st Century? on January 20, 2008, 8:19 PM
It is true that very little nowadays cannot be analysed and categorized; this is only evidence of our exceedingly growing prowess in rational thought. However, this is only one mode of thought, existing alongside thought of a more spiritual and abstract nature. In our pursuit of rationality, we have neglected this other mode of thought which has lead to irreligiousness and, in turn, the stagnation of culture and the general apathy abundant in modern society. Thus, Philosophy is not becoming obsolete in this increasingly materialistic society of ours: it is becoming neglected, though crucial, i believe, in restoring the 'soul' our society has lost; a soul that has inspired man, and driven progress and growth since time immemorial.

i drew a fractal once, and the same thought occured to me. What about a line of paper, folded concertina style? if you measured it as a line, you would get a certain length; you get a greater length if you took a smaller ruler, and measured each fold. Now, if you used an even smaller ruler, and measured the miniscule bumps on the surface of paper, you would get an infinitely longer distance, right?. A model of infinity that is not only hand-held, but man-made: one of my favourite analogies :)
