News / Status Update

Almost a month has passed since the first newsletter. Meanwhile we have a total of eleven members and there are a couple more people who have expressed interest in our society, yet have not joined it until now. I am particularly happy that we already have three members in my home country Austria and I especially wish to gain more members here so that real-life, face-to-face meetings will hopefully be a reality soon.

I have recently added the option to list one's interests in the members list at the website www.prudentia.club. The reason for this is that we want to enable our members to work together on research projects and debate about sophisticated topics at a high level. So it makes sense to gather information on who is interested in what. It is already clear to see that there are some areas of interests which several of our members share, such as philosophy and psychology. Hopefully this will eventually lead to fruitful collaboration. While Prudentia is not limited to university graduates, we particularly encourage people who have enjoyed higher education to join the club. Unlike some other high IQ societies, Prudentia is not just about boasting with one's IQ, but about debate and collaboration on projects.

There is a Prudentia group at Facebook which is currently located at the URL https://www.facebook.com/groups/2655295068028282/. That URL might change in the future. Since there have been requests from non-members of Prudentia to join this group, I have started a poll in the group whether non-members should be let into this group. The majority shall decide.

A Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis

A Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis By Iakovos Koukas (April 2024) Abstract: The Riemann Hypothesis, proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859, remains one of the most profound unsolved conjectures in mathematics. This paper presents a comprehensive proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, through eight steps that use mathematical tools from complex analysis, number theory, and mathematical logic. Beginning with the foundational definition of the Riemann zeta function, I extend its domain analytically, investigate its behavior within the critical strip, and use various mathematical techniques to establish the distribution of its non-trivial zeros. Through analytical reasoning and careful application of mathematical principles, I demonstrate that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line, thereby proving the Riemann Hypothesis. Introduction: The Riemann Hypothesis is a conjecture concerning the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, a central object in ...

A Proof of the CTMU - Sketch

The CTMU is a theoretic model proposed by Christopher Langan. More information on it can be found at: https://ctmucommunity.org/wiki/ The core statement of the CTMU is: The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe is a language that describes itself. Another statement is: The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe is equivalent to Reality. From this follows: The universe is a language that describes itself. A language is a set of words that are generated using a set of rules called a formal grammar. A language can describe other languages - for example, English can describe French - and it can also describe itself - English can describe English. There is nothing that exists outside of the universe - everything that exists does so inside the universe. For this reason whatever describes the universe, as well as the language using which it does it, exists inside the universe. Therefore it it is legitimate to state that the universe describes itself. Since the language using which the...

The Synthesis of Metaphysics and Jungian Personality Theory

Image
A debate on Facebook dealing with the idea that one could continue living after his/her death if one uploaded the contents of one‘s brain onto a computer has stimulated me to thinking about the relationship between mind and matter. The conclusions I have come up with are far-reaching: they explain what probably is the true self of a person, why there probably is a life after death, and all of a sudden, Carl Gustav Jung‘s theory of psychological functions makes sense as I have managed to build a model of the human organism from which most of Jung‘s theory follows per logical deduction. The first time I read about the idea of uploading one‘s brain onto a computer was about 20 years ago. I immediately rejected the notion that a dead person would continue living if just the contents of his/her brain would be uploaded onto a computer. Even disregarding that a human being also has a body, I simply do not believe that I would consciously experience the thinking process of such an artificial b...
