One of the main reasons of the efficiency of this science is the universal principles that stand at its foundations.
Because of these universal principles our civilization achieved its current technology, but the motivations and use of these technologies are not based on universal principles.
In my opinion one of the ways to reduce the chance of self-made destruction is to define a universal framework that may be used as a common base ground for both Ethics and Logical reasoning.
For the past 30 years I am trying to develop such a framework, and this goal is definitely beyond the abilities of a single person.
I call this framework Organic Mathematics, or OM.
Direct Perception is actually the silent presence of any mantel activity, which enables to bridge our ethical aspects with our logical\technological aspects under a one framework.
The luck of Direct Perception as the base ground of a powerful language like the mathematical science, can easily lead us to manipulate deeper forces of Nature, which are not balanced by universal ethical principles (universal ethical principles must not be limited to any particular religion, culture or civilization).
In my opinion if our species will not learn very soon how to develop the universal bridge between Ethics and Logics under a one comprehensive framework, we shell not survive further manipulations of Nature's forces.
We came to the conclusion that kindergarten children have a different way of grasping concepts and a different way of thinking than do adults.While the so-called “adult Mathematical thinking” is based mostly on Logic, children think in a way that is balanced somewhere in-between logic, intuition, emotion and imagination.We called this thought process “Organic Thinking” and tried to characterize it.
A more general one:
The axiom of Locality:
There exist y and x, such that x is at the domain of y.
Yes, this is the property of Non-locality, it is a contradiction only from the local point of view.
I will do it tommorow.HatRack said:Tell us, in detail, which ZFC axioms are wrong and why.
Well, "tomorrow" is almost over, and we've yet to hear one peep from you about which ZFC axiom is wrong.
He has in the past argued that the Axiom of the Empty Set was wrong.
Doron, I don't know what's scarier. The prospect of you teaching this nonsense to kindergarten children, or the fact that you are basing your mathematical theory on the reasoning of kindergarten children.

Oh my, the empty set, really? And what do you hope to accomplish by disposing of the empty set Doron?
X is a place holder of any set.
A is a distinct set.
There is set A such that no set X is its member.
This axiom uses the hidden assumption that one of the sets that are not the members of set X, is set A.
In other words the empty set is used to define itself, which is a circular reasoning.

I disagree with you, Logic and Ethics complement each other if they are combined according to universal principles, that are not limited to any particular culture.Logic is more basic than ethics. Trying to combine the two at the same level is a recipe for disaster,
There's no need to assume its own existence in order to assume its existence like you claim.
There is a set such that no set is a member of it.
"There is a set" (A is a distinct set) "such that no set" (X is a place holder of any set) "is a member of it" (one of the sets that are not members of A must be A, otherwise {{}} is not one of the cases that are not allowed by this axiom.
So set {} is used as one of the sets that define it, which is a circular reasoning, because the defined object can't be a factor of its own terms of existence.
Furthermore, your dichotomy between Definition and Axiom is impossible, because "X exists" does not provide the terms of its existence, and without the terms of existence we can't distinguish between empty and non-empty sets, because both of them exist.
I disagree with you, Logic and Ethics complement each other if they are combined according to universal principles, that are not limited to any particular culture.
I see that you do not grasp Evolutionary Ethics Model (EEM) ( http://www.scribd.com/doc/16547236/EEM )
For the past 30 years I am trying to develop such a framework, and this goal is definitely beyond the abilities of a single person.
Incorrect. "X exists" certainly does provide the "terms of X's existence" because I defined X, the empty set, before I asserted its existence. Go back to the last page and read jsfisher's explanation of the difference between an axiom and a definition if you still can't get it.
jsfisher said:Compare the axiom, "an empty set exists," to the definition, "an empty set is a set with no members."
No, all this time I meat closed minds like you, that no matter how many times they observe it, that can't can the non-local property of a stick, which is not less than at AND not at a given circle drown on the floor.And all this time wasted based on a trivial observation that part of a stick touches a circle while another part is not touching it?
