The dilemma right now, as far as I can figure out, is:
- Scientists have rejected efficient knowledge.
- Scientists have rejected efficient machines.
- Scientists have rejected objective organizational systems.
- Scientists don’t know how to process information (though this seems unlikely, it is a little bit true).
- Society is not progressing on ambitious projects regarding such things as language, visual interfaces, symbolic interfaces, knowledge interfaces, and knowledge generation with few exceptions except Nathan Coppedge.
Instead they are drinking coffee. Bingo.

SUCCESSFUL LOGICS 2021
Coherently:
- Without exponential efficiency:
- Data can be organized in sets which may overlap in various ways. The system is not exponentially efficient in that the system produces more combinations than there are categories in the system, except arguably when there is only one universal category.
- With exponential efficiecy:
- Polar opposites must be opposed on the diagonal. All members of a set must be read, placing priority on the first term, and never reading opposites as neighboring categories. The result is exponentially efficient, by reaching fewer permutations than overall categories.
Incoherently:
- Causally
- Traditional reasoning is a posteriori, mostly using Modus Tollens, finding rudimentary structures. Such systems are various in their composition and can have various foundational structures.
- Future reasoning is said to be conditional: If-then, computer programming. This reasoning has been said to be suitable to more scientific formulations of logic.
- Informally
- Informal methods can have various expressions, typically representational methods.
- Informal methods do not have a foundational structure, they simply aim to teach casually and informally: garbage in, garbage out.

The last opportunities for philosophy to be absorbed were (currently):
- Newtonian science.
- Hegelian Liberalism.
- Nietzschean Psychology.
- Mathematical coherence.
- Post-60’s Humanism, self-help, etc.
- Scientism focused on the literal view.
- Eclecticism including Asian philosophy, heuristics, aesthetics, and philosophical category theory (and I would argue, ultimately perpetual motion machines).

Updates:
Will Philosophy Ever Make a Comeback and be as Important as Science?
No, three reasons:
- There are many signs of an end to analytic philosophy as it was traditionally known. For example, one of the recent greats Saul Kripke predicted post-analytic philosophy, and he may have also predicted it was a dead end. Meanwhile, philosophers have argued after Levinas that any rhetoric-bearing philosophy must be committed to the flames because it could appear fascist when used by politics. Also, postmodernism has not completely gone away, and the Millennials who might support MetaModernism are actually largely anti-philosophy, in addition to being anti-religion and pro-Atheist.
- The next revolution will likely require that parts of science are overturned, but the way things are going either there will be no revolution, or such a revolution will have to rely on scientific evidence and use it against science. The potential here might be for perpetual motion machines, but such revolution is not expressly a philosophical one. It has the effect of changing philosophy into a form of engineering possibly, which could have permanent consequences for the definition of philosophy. It would not in that sense be traditional philosophy at all, and so it is not what we call philosophy today.
- Philosophy may be on a downturn anyway, even separate from what Millennials think, and what philosophy is turning into as a discipline. Every time something bad happens in history, philosophy seems to take a big hit. Philosophers are more shell-shocked than ever, and it doesn’t make them into good philosophers, it more like makes them into crazy people. So, eventually, philosophers are just people who need some type of knowledge therapy. Its inevitable that other types of therapy would be offered that were not knowledge-focused, and so it seems that philosophy could be eclipsed simply because it is a form of neediness. That is not to say that philosophy cannot be useful, but we must realize that whatever philosophy becomes, it will be subject not only to the desire for knowledge, but to the definition of philosophy in seeking that knowledge. That may have the effect of making philosophy especially vulnerable when a more specific definition of philosophy emerges, or when the general definition leads to the conclusion that philosophy is a general form of neediness. A specific neediness might be more flexible, because it could change what it is needy about, but a general neediness might be treatable as simply a single-category need.
