In the previous post I came up with the  Free Resources for the Free Mind recommendations, where the recommendations come from the readers…for the readers, and guess what ?

Readers have been writing back in doves. I got 10 emails with 48 hours.

My readers are tired of the online garbage out there.

They don’t want to read the scrap and crap of the Internet bottom barrel.

For the Free Resources I thought I would make one available a month.

I never thought I get overwhelmed by them.

I’ll get right to them.

Or at least get to one of them tonight. To clarify, readers suggestions can be anything, from articles to links to other blogs, authors, videos, classes (like the one I wrote about on June 13th), book reviews by others. I’m not the only one doing book reviews. MOOCs. On anything and everything that you found useful. Let other readers know. What do you like, and what did you learn. Let me know.

Here’s the example free class reader Stewie suggested.

Paradox and Infinity MIT class

From: MIT

MITx course “highlights from the intersection of philosophy and mathematics”

About this course 

The class is divided into three modules:

  • Infinity: Learn about how some infinities are bigger than others, and explore the mind-boggling hierarchy of bigger and bigger infinities.
  • Time Travel and Free Will: Learn about whether time travel is logically possible, and whether it is compatible with free will.
  • Computability and Gödel’s Theorem: Learn about how some mathematical functions are so complex, that no computer could possibly compute them. Use this result to prove Gödel’s famous Incompleteness Theorem.

Paradox and Infinity is a math-heavy class, which presupposes that you feel comfortable with college-level mathematics and that you are familiar with mathematical proofs.”

Link to this class, which starts June 18th, 2019 , has a length of 12 weeks at presupposes an effort of 5 to 6 hours a week.

And we have a quote of the week as well:

“It is our suffering that brings us together. It is not love. Love does not obey the mind, and turns to hate when forced. The bond that binds us is beyond choice. We are brothers. We are brothers in what we share. In pain, which each of us must suffer alone, in hunger, in poverty, in hope, we know our brotherhood. We know it, because we have had to learn it. We know that there is no help for us but from one another, that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that you reach out is empty, as mine is. You have nothing. You possess nothing. You own nothing. You are free. All you have is what you are, and what you give.”

The The Dispossessed  -Ursula K. Le Guin
