N. Levashov's «SvetL Broom» in A. Khatybov's «Bath School» Book 3. The Cell and Health
F. Shkrudnev N. Levashov's "SvetL Broom" in A. Khatybov's "Bath School" and A Labour Spade 141 Chapter 3. Knowledge and Illusions There are two illusions in the life of each man. The first one is caused by the mind, the second one – by the feeling. At first, a Man got to know the outer world, and this is called science. Then he tries to understand himself, and this is called psychology. Finally he discovers that the outer world is known by him in some other way, and this is called an existential crisis or something else, but the basic for him is that he knows the world in somewhat wrong way. Getting out of the crisis, a Man discovers that something has appeared inside him, and he begins to "explore" this something, and this is called self- knowledge. Having studied the inner (of this something), a Man discovers that the outer world has completely passed inward, and this is called enlightenment in one’s own understanding. All this I have experienced for the last 10 years. From my experience and observations I have got that MOST PEOPLE LOOK FOR KNOWLEDGE, BUT PICK UP ILLUSIONS. Knowledge is laid in you but not claimed by you. You are all – powerful, like gods, but today most of you, being in the captivity of illusions, are powerless. Have a look – …Mr. Charles Darwin teaches us that there is not a very long sequence of living beings, the first member of which is the Charley monkey, each of its successors is the son of the previous one, and finally its last member is Professor Darwin himself. The total number of all members of this sequence, obviously, makes up a set. In it there is a subclass of members of this sequence that are monkeys. This is its own class, i.e. proper half-set. First of all, it is not empty, since the monkey Charlie belongs to it. But if it were a set, i.e. if this subclass were clearly marked out from the given sequence, then it would be possible to specify the last element in it. Mr. Darwin can not be, since he is not a monkey. So, it must be someone from his ancestors. But it would be such a monkey whose son is no longer a monkey. However, we all know that monkeys’ children are monkeys... I want to note that by this example I did not mean either to refute Darwin's teaching or prove it, nor did I mean to give an example of applying mathematics to biology. Similar interpretations, meanwhile, I heard from
