3 PREFACE Let 'q' be an arbitrary sentence of the language and suppose that the theory is inconsistent. This means that we can derive the sentence 'p and not-p'. From this 'p' follows. And from 'p' it follows that 'p or q' (if 'p' is true then 'p or q' will be true no matter whether 'q' is true or not). Equally, it follows from 'p and not-p' that 'not-p'. But 'not-p' together with 'p or q' entails 'q'.

4 W.H. Newton-Smith, THE RATIONALITY OF SCIENCE, 1981, p. 229 states if a theory is inconsistent it will contain every sentence of the language Thus once we admit an inconsistency into our theory we have to admit everything a theory which contained each sentence of the theory's language and its negation proof Let 'q' be an arbitrary sentence of the language and suppose that the theory is inconsistent. This means that we can derive the sentence 'p and not-p'. From this 'p' follows. And from 'p' it follows that 'p or q' (if 'p' is true then 'p or q' will be true no matter whether 'q' is true or not). Equally, it follows from 'p and not-p' that 'not-p'. But 'not-p' together with 'p or q' entails 'q'.

5 Mathematics is inconsistent and since science is built upon mathematics science is inconsistent thus all sentences in mathematics and science are valid this means it is possible to prove anything and everything it is possible to prove Fermat's Last Theorem and it is possible to prove the negation of Fermat's Last Theorem It means it is possible to prove Einsteins theory of relativity and it is possible to prove the negation of Einsteins theory of relativity and there is a negation the Brans Dicke theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/brans%e2%80%93d icke_theory "At present, both Brans Dicke theory and general relativity are generally held to be in agreement with

observation. Brans Dicke theory represents a minority viewpoint in physics. 6 It [Brans Dicke theory] is an example of a scalar-tensor theory, a gravitational theory in which the gravitational interaction is mediated by a scalar field as well as the tensor field of general relativity. The gravitational constant G is not presumed to be constant but instead 1/G is replaced by a scalar field which can vary from place to place and with time. Thus

The system of mathematics contains everything it containes each sentence of the theory's language and its negation The system of science contains everything it containes each sentence of the theory's language and its negation 7 All possible realities/theories and their negation are now possible and equally valid reality is thus meaningless it is a Coincidentia oppositorum it is what ever the theoretical system says it is and what it says it is its negation is equally valid- all theoretical systems are valid and so is the negation of these theoretical systems valid

8 Proof mathematics is inconsistent A finite number is not a non-finite number And it negation A finite number= a nonfinite number It be proven that 1= 0.999

9 Let be x = 0.999.. 10x = 9.999 10x-x =9.999-0.999 9x=9 x= 1 But that proof thus shows a finite number be equal to a nonfinite number thus a contradiction in terms thus mathematics ends in contradiction Again 1+1=2 And its negation 1+1=1

10 It be said that 1+1=2 be a certain truth Blah 1 number + 1 number = 1 number 1 number (2) +1 number (2) =1 number (4) So 1 +1=2 And 1 + 1 = 1 Thus a contradiction in mathematics

11 Here we have two contradictions in mathematics A contradiction in reality A glass half full And its negation A glass half empty Deans glass show that the glass is half full and half empty at the same time thus showing the law of non-contradiction is wrong

12 http://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/thought_and_writing/phi losophy/rationality%20of%20science.pdf W.H. Newton-Smith, THE RATIONALITY OF SCIENCE, 1981, p. 229: "A theory ought to be internally consistent. The grounds for including this factor are a priori. For given a realist construal of theories, our concern is with verisimilitude, and if a theory is inconsistent it will contain every sentence of the

13 language, as the following simple argument shows. Let 'q' be an arbitrary sentence of the language and suppose that the theory is inconsistent. This means that we can derive the sentence 'p and not-p'. From this 'p' follows. And from 'p' it follows that 'p or q' (if 'p' is true then 'p or q' will be true no matter whether 'q' is true or not). Equally, it follows from 'p and not-p' that 'not-p'. But 'not-p' together with 'p or q' entails 'q'. Thus once we admit an inconsistency into our theory we have to admit everything. And no theory of verisimilitude would be acceptable that did not give the lowest degree of verisimilitude to a theory which contained each sentence of the theory's language and its negation." All observation is theory laden Thus if you change the theory the meaning of the observation changes

14 Now with the inconsistency of mathematics and science all possible realities/theories and their negation are now possible and equally valid Thus we have now that all theories are now valid and the meanings these theories give to the observation are all valid In the every day world this means that all views are valid but so are the opposing views valid Thus all civil rights views are valid ie pro gay marriage is valid but so is the opposing view ie anti-gay marriage is valid So with each opponents view being valid so there is no need/point to argue anymore as Each view contains within it its negation as all views end in meaninglessness

Now natural language is inconsistent 15 As https://academic.oup.com/mind/article- abstract/lxiii/250/219/945364/vi-is-everyday- LANGUAGE-INCONSISTENT?redirectedFrom=PDF now it is clear from the work of Tarski that the language of everyday speech is semantically closed and hence inconsistent (RM Martin Some comments on truth and Designation Analysis, January, 1950,p.65) And W.H. Newton-Smith, THE RATIONALITY OF SCIENCE, 1981, p. 229 states if a theory is inconsistent it will contain every sentence of the language Thus once we admit an inconsistency into our theory we have to admit everything Thus

16 Now with the inconsistency of language all possible views and their negation are now possible and equally valid Thus the philosophies of Kant Hegal Plato Aristotle etc all philosophies and the negation/opposite of the philosophies of Kant Hegal Plato Aristotle etc all philosophies are now possible and equally valid Thus We can now just treat all views/ philosophies esthetically that is for their logical and argumentative beauty rather than for any fortuitous scientific or truth value just like one treats poetry painting music for their esthetic beauty So with each opponents view being valid so there is no need/point to argue anymore as Each view contains within it its negation as all views end in meaninglessness
