No, they look like madness.

But logic is still worth learning.

EDIT: it seems I was partly mistaken. What I could parse of Marchal's mathy reasoning was both plausible and interesting, but parsing is quite hard work because he expresses his ideas in a very freaky manner. And there still remain many utterly unparseable philosophical bits.

Thanks for taking another look. BTW, I suggest if people change the content of their comments substantially, it's better to make a reply to yourself, otherwise those who read LW by scanning new comments will miss the new content.
