You don't think the Vikings suffered from some derangements? Weren't they deranged to go on raping and pillaging the more sophisticated European societies? Their chief derangement may have been a kind of Klingonian, hypermasculine mindset.

Is your mathematical approach to cosmology and philosophy supposed to be a metaphor? If a digital language were fundamental, that would suggest an informational ontology. Are we living in a simulation? Is the universe a computer running some software? Or is that only a metaphor? If it's a metaphor, your use of math here would have to be limited at best.

I'm not sure I understand your explanation of Mainlander's mistake. Why is it a mistake to value something that's gone? Isn't it possible for things to get worse, which would justify sadness? Is your structural approach supposed to rule out deterioration? Is progress metaphysically necessary? Or are you saying--like Spinoza does--that everything is eternal, so there's neither progress nor deterioration?
