I remember hearing Rob Burbea remark once that not only is the self an illusion, but awareness itself is an illusion. (I take him to mean by "awareness" something like the space in which all experience arises.) At the time I didn't understand what he meant. Now I'm wondering if…
The most pernicious delusion of the last ten years is that we can improve anything, not by understanding its structure and identifying its flaws, but by distilling a vague sense of what sort-of-kind-of-worked under similar conditions, and plastering that goo over all the cracks.
question for @andrasKovacs6@Blaisorblade @jonmsterling @laMudri@mietek and anyone else who can help:
what resources would you recommend to a relative beginner to learn enough type theory to implement a small proof assistant?
