All objects are conventional

Susan Wu at Techcrunch writes that
virtual objects are nothing more than a series of digital 1s and 0s stored on a remote database somewhere in the ether.1 What could possibly possess people to spend real, hard earned cash on ‘objects’ that have no tangible substance?
This is a very good example of how much Newtonist doctrine […]

The global Newton brand

The usual down escalator at Borders was up escalator  today and I had to walk to the other side passing through the new non-fiction section. I noticed this book: God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens.
I checked the index for the word “marketing.” I didn’t see it. How can one write […]

Definition of Newtonism

The word Newtonism occurs in 37 posts in this blog. I collected them all in Densytics wiki. I am hoping to organize the ideas in there into a precise definition of Newtonism. Densytics is an open wiki please feel free to contribute.
Google does not have a definition for Newtonism. How long would it take for […]

The Newton code

Newton claimed that his Principia was about “rational mechanics.” It may be the one and only rational mechanics book starting with poetry. That famous piece of doggerel is part of sophisticated marketing methods Newton used to establish his Principia as the Book of Newtonism. Newton’s marketing campaign was so successful that Newton brand remains the most recognizable […]

Maxwell was one of those scholastic physicists who wrote the second intentionally most unreadable treatise in the history of physics and became a legend.1 But in his brief and readable Matter and Motion2 published in 1877 Maxwell pays the price of writing a brief and readable book because we can read and understand it and show […]

Today I walked to Grand Central at lunch break and I saw this book in the bookstore there: The Closing of the Western Mind by Charles Freeman. The idea is that the Church hierarchy in collusion with the state killed rationalism in Europe. I believe this idea to be true. I realized it myself in […]

Since Newton mathematics is used as polemics and it is called mathematicism. Before Newton mathematics was not used to prove non-mathematical ideological labels. Proof meant, mathematical proof. Newton mixed geometrical theorems with pictures of his ideological labels. Then, Newton used the authority of mathematics to prove his ideological, political, religious and mystical beliefs. See this […]

Edison’s Universal Laws?

Physicists say, “where is Edison’s Universal Law of Gravitation? Where are his laws for electricity and magnetism? Are there Edison’s laws of motion?” 
Physicists say, “there isn’t even a unit named after Edison but only a utility company. How can Edison be a scientist?”1
Why do physicists mistake legislators for scientists? Is it because doctors of physics are scholastic legislators […]

Academic artists painted commentary on Old Masters. Academic scholastics wrote commentary on their Old Master. This was the cult of the old. Tradition endowed authority. Tradition created a constant.
With the establishment of the cult of the new, old looked old.
The academic art bureaucracy solved this problem brilliantly by adapting modern as its creed. This label […]

Discarding the still new for a new one to satisfy the whims of a bureaucracy called fashion seemed strange to citizens who were still subjects of human rulers. Subjects became citizens and citizens became consumers of image templates sold to them by giant unhuman organisms. When citizens started to discard a new jacket in order […]
