O, it is excellent

To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous

To use it like a giant.

Measure for Measure, Act II, Sc. ii.

But in these cases

We still have judgment here; that we but teach

Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return

To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice

Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice

To our own lips.

Macbeth, Act I, Sc. vii.

The Conflation

You have conflated metaphysics with mathematics. Mathematics is not a science;

mathematics is for the sciences, even jurisprudence. Metaphysics is a dead end. And a

rotten path to natural law, mechanical and organic. You have totally disregarded and put

into disrespect cause and effect as a result of this. It is irreligious in the sense of proving

the existence of God, and of asserting or not asserting the materiality of the soul, which is

a question to be left open. The ancient idea of Resurrection is responsible for the non-

enumerative nature of the American Constitution, which keeps the tinkerers out ofarbitrary decision making. You have disregarded Euclid's Common Notions completely.

In following Spinoza you are rehashing the refusal to differentiate first elements from

genus. And so on. All the way down to history of Atomism, which you have a very poor

understanding of in deed. In miserable understanding you have forced by your own

arbitrary desire a complete separation of mechanics from effective phenomena. Heine

was right.
