the concept of 0

Post Reply New Topic

three bullet thoughts:

1.what does it mean to meditate on the concept of 0 and one?

2. what can you learn by thinking about these two numbers in terms of what they potentially mean conceptually?

3. Can anyone provide a list of 10 or more potential thoughts they have when they think about these numbers?

4. love from Cambridge MA

I read meditate as mediate and now I'm imagining a 0 and a 1 in counselling.

Tune in next time to the real lives of numbers where we'll find out in a shocking discovery why the others are afraid of number 7. Meanwhile, 0 and 1 are having a dispute that is anything but binary.

1. Binary logic / Boolean Algebra

2. "One", by Three Dog Night (1969)

3. The limits of probability (e.g., 0 to 1, inclusive)

4. Asimov's Zeroth Law of Robotics: "A robot may not injure humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm."

5. Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: "If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other."

6. First Principles: "Basic propositions or assumptions that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption."

7. First Rule of Fight Club: "You don't talk about Fight Club!"

8. A one-off character on The Jetsons (e.g., "Space-Boy Zoom and his dog Zero!").

9. An clue given in an episode of Mandrake the Magician (e.g., "Where Zero Meets Zero")

10. A place-holder in in the Arabic number system.

A soundtrack for our meditations on ...

zero...




and on one...

if you reach yourself, one person, then you could affect the world for the good, potentially, even if in a small way.

but this is obvious. but obvious doesn't mean stupid. and stupid doesn't mean irrelevant.
