Re: NOTHING is complex or difficult

Now from an abstract point of view, as soon as you understand
*COMPLETLY* an abstract representation (in the form of conscience),
you will have an OBJECTIVE view of it, and it will become the TRUTH
and as soon as you understand it COMPLETLY it will look SIMPLE
and EASY.

How would anyone know they have understood anything COMPLETELY?
How could you be sure you know a particular subject exhaustively and
plumbed all depths and there is no nuance that has escaped you?
And how could you be sure there are no internal inconsistencies in
your thinking?

I understand complex numbers but my "understanding" consists of
understanding of analogues (multiplication and division amount to
rotation on the complex plane) plus knowledge on various formulae and
the fact that I can mathematically manipulate them:

exp(iz) = cos( z) + i sin(z)

or integration on the complex plane or I can use them to model
alternating current flows in circuits that contain capacitors,
inductors and resistors.

What I am certain about is I have not even scratched the surface of
the depths of what complex numbers amount to or their uses. So saying
I understand COMPLETELY would be arrogance and self-delusion.

I take it you have not digested the philosophical implications of
Godel's work?

Your just another netloon posting total twaddle.
