...the science of calculation also is indispensable as far as the extraction of the square and cube roots: algebra as far as the quadratic equation and the use of logarithms are often of value in ordinary cases: but all beyond these is but a luxury; a delicious luxury indeed; but not be in indulged in by one who is to have a profession to follow for his subsistence.

...the Science Of Calculation Also Is Indispensable

Thomas Jefferson

More From Thomas Jefferson

We live in this culture of endless extraction and disposal: extraction from the earth, extraction from people's bodies, from communities, as if there's no limit, as if there's no consequence to how we're taking and disposing, and as if it can go on endlessly. we are reaching the breaking point on multiple levels. communities are breaking, the planet is breaking, people's bodies are breaking. we are taking too much.

Monetary calculation is not the calculation, and certainly not the measurement, of value. its basis is the comparison of the more important and the less important. it is an ordering according to rank, an act of grading (cuhel), and not an act of measuring. it was a mistake to search for a measure of the value of goods. in the last analysis, economic calculation does not rest on the measurement of values, but on their arrangement in an order of rank.

I think, first of all, i don't think people understand ice cube's body of work. ice cube is a, and i hate to use the word 'urban' but - when you think of judd apatow, and a person who's launched so many careers, ice cube has done that for so many comedians, you know?

How can you shorten the subject? that stern struggle with the multiplication table, for many people not yet ended in victory, how can you make it less? square root, as obdurate as a hardwood stump in a pasturenothing but years of effort can extract it. you can't hurry the process. or pass from arithmetic to algebra; you can't shoulder your way past quadratic equations or ripple through the binomial theorem. instead, the other way; your feet are impeded in the tangled growth, your pace slackens, you sink and fall somewhere near the binomial theorem with the calculus in sight on the horizon.

People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterwards repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from reality than before. your desire for the illusory is a wing, by means of which a seeker might ascend to reality. when you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off; you become lame and that fantasy flees. preserve the wing and don't indulge such lust, so that the wing of desire may bear you to paradise. people fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.

There's a lot of science in it, and as slartibartfast [in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy] said: 'i am a great fan of science, but i cannot do a quadratic equation.' i've never, ever been able to do one. i remember one occasion at warwick university, when jack and ian were at their wits' end because i couldn't get it. i felt totally ashamed.
