Final Posting...

"Good or bad… It never lasts forever." (Pat McNally, Sondrestrom Fjord, Greenland, 1969... Pontificated while tripping on LSD... True story… I was there)…
This is blog number 22… The final curtain, so to speak…Funny… Number 22… Reminds me of Catch 22… I kind of feel like Yossarian, jumping out of the hospital window, Nately’s whore’s sister’s knife just missing me as I take off… 

Catch-22

1. (E == (I & R)) (Premise: If a person is excused from flying (E), that must be because he is both insane (I), and requests an evaluation (R));


2.(E == (I & !R)) (Premise: If a person is insane (I), he should not realize that he is, and would have no reason to request an evaluation)


3.(E == (!I ||!R)) 2, Definition of implication: since an insane person would not request an evaluation, it follows that all people must either not be insane, or not request an evaluation)


4.(E == ((I !& R)) 3, De Morgan: since all people must either not be insane, or not request an evaluation, it follows that no person (P) is both insane and requests an evaluation)


5.(!E ==(I & R)) (4, 1) Modus Tollens: since a person may be excused from flying only if he is both insane and requests an evaluation, but no person can be both insane and request an evaluation, it follows that no person can be excused from flying)

It Makes sense to me!!

Joseph Heller's Catch-22 first published in 1961...Funny... So did Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land... Both books started becoming cult hits in about '67-'68...
Both are are classics... Kinda like this blog... 


Dylan was right... The times were a changin'..
