the idea is not to be misunderstood; it's to not be understood; and for that sort of power pendulum to actually exist, philosophy must begin to respect poetry (beginning with heidegger's appreciation of it), and not shame it, as some otoise "benevolence".

the story is, that the europeans inherited numbers from
the hindus, or the arabs...
        well... the romans?
       they had
I   V   X
L  C   D
M                               7 digits... again, that hydra in
                 the book of revelations...
            imagine!          *letters that had dual functions!
             that you could actually do mathematics with it!
architecture!   the ******* colloseum! erected with such "crude"
     instruments!

all i have to say: **** the hindu / arab argument,
   as to how modern numbers were derived...
             i'm going to use greek and the latin alphabet to
                    excavate our modern numbers, beginning with:
σ and 6
                  (the genesis)...
         O, squashed:                0
                           B                            -         8
   I                              -                    1
           ­                      Σ (ω)       -                   3
               ρ (mirror) -                       9

(a thought, while smoking a cigarette):
   the idea of a fourth dimension?
     well... the concept of a flat earth really helps...
  i.e. the acronym n.e.w.s. (north, east, west, south) -
         sure... the 3D   fudge of an image does help to place
a postage-stamp on the argument...
         but you're not going to exactly read a map
                with the performing-monkey antics shouting:
the earth isn't flat! the earth isn't flat!
         a 3D conceptualißation of your "dasein"
    will not get your from a     to        b....
                you won't be an explorer... with a 3D earth...
you'll just have an image, rather than a competence to read a map...
you'll become a, **** astronaut!

where did i derive this from, where did this mánā come from?
   the problem with          4...
              what letter? what letter?       tetragrammaton's H?
     what is pythagorean, standing like a stork, i.e. on one leg?

what has been covered?     1, 0, 9, 8, 6, 3...
     ****... 4 to go...            
                                      4, 5, 2, 7....
   hmm...
                                                          ­ζ = 2,
                   x = 4?               i'm sure someone might have figured out:
    4 points of origin, converging... into a triangle, standing on 1 leg...
                   there is no figura similis...
       that's why i threw in jewish clues...
                              i have to admit... conjuring 5, and 7 is going
to be hard...
             i can stretch conjuring 5 as S and Z being siamese ****-buddies...
                            7?      well... there's one option,
    gamma (Γ) walking through a mirror... meaning it's chiral, i.e.
   non-superimposable, i.e. it's an enantiomer...
       perhaps even L...                     rotating anti-clockwise,
   and then getting its stump broken, and then bent.

       so that's that...         numbers derived from existing letters...
  perhaps akin to what was "lazy" in the roman schools...
             as one mathematics teacher expressed:
      you wouldn't be able to do newtonian calculus using roman "numbers"...
but sure as ****, you could ask architects to build you
   grand monumets / buildings...
           i swear modern architects should only use roman numerals...
perhaps we'd see less cubism in modern architecture.
