I just discovered something: Principia Cybernetica, which is derived from Principia Mathematica. Apparently it has something to do with Bertreand Russell. I don't have a clue about the profound meaning of this but I know the basics and what's the result: http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/TOC.html

For the basics about what it is: http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/DEFAULT.html

It seems to be what I was yearning for (modestly, in my wildest dreams): an atempt to bring all knowledge to a coherent whole, some sort of "theory of everything". Of course, maybe it wont lead to something complete before ages but this is truly a marvel, it seems like the Genome project of human knowedge. It is the Graal of Knowledge, the Philosopher's Stone.

With this, I am bringing a discussion... Bring any comment you wish, I basically wish to see everything we can discuss about this and try to understand everything that can possibily be understood about a Theory of Everything.

What do you think about it? Can it lead somewhere? Where would it lead? To what would it be useful? What would it look like? Where is human knowledge going with this globalizing of specialization? Is it the the ultimate and final path which should therefore only be optimized?
