If thought shapes form, which ideas in your life deserve more care today? If mind shapes form, how careful are we with our daily thoughts?
Which ideas deserve more respect in your life? #Hermeticism #HermesTrismegistus #AncientWisdom #Alexandria #CorpusHermeticum #PrincipleOfMind #Platonism #Iamblichus #Plotinus #Renaissance #MarsilioFicino #GiordanoBruno #Alchemy #HistoryOfScience #MindAndMatter #PersonalAgency #LivingWisdom

Wigner's claim is a clear-cut case of survivor bias:
Of all the possible mathematical claims a vanishingly small number can be **adapted** to physics (in itself unsurprising, considering that's what we have developed it for).His claim is popular because a large number of people want the world to be orderly, despite evidence to the contrary, not because it is in any way correct.
For it to be "unreasonable" one would expect physicists to be able to forego empiricism, and just roll out physics from mathematical first principles.
THAT would be "unreasonable effectiveness".
But of the severally several infinities of possible math statements, a non-contiguous spattering of statements find some use in physics - to describe patterns that are found empirically.
That is not impressive in the least.

Saw some fascist idiots on the birb site trying to diss a trans inclusive analysis of #Plotinus so I made these memes based on #Proclus actual own words to show that #Neoplatonism and #Platonism of late antique #Polytheism are in fact very #transinclusive.
