The God Series book 7, _Hyperreason_, has been published. You can find
the series at http://www.amazon.com/Mike-Hockney/e/B004KHR7DC and the
book at
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperreason-The-God-Series-ebook/dp/B00ARHXAVW .
Other books there are articles on a web site, and other non-fiction and
fiction. The summary of _Hyperreason_ is below.
The central claim of rationalism is that a sufficiently clever person,
sitting alone in their room, could work out all of the principles of
existence, everything that makes our world what it is. No faith and no
sensory observations or experiments are required. No one needs to spend
billions building a Large Hadron Collider. However, you DO require the
mind of a genius, and it's not an atom smasher you need but a bullshit
and fallacy smasher.
Hyperrationalism differs from rationalism in one crucial regard. It
asserts that all rational truths are mathematical and that the universe
is 100% mathematical.
"Hyperreason" is the extraordinary and mind-boggling story of the
attempts down the ages of the rational and hyperrational to explain
reality via thought alone.
Most people are completely alienated from reason, just as they are from
mathematics, so hyperreason represents the most daunting possible
challenge. "Believers" quail when they encounter it and hide their eyes
in case hyperreason, like Medusa, turns them to stone. The scientists
who worship experiments flee in horror when they are told that
hyperreason disdains experiments. 1 + 1 = 2 is true eternally and not a
single experiment is needed to verify it, or refute it. All real truths
are of exactly that immutable, Platonic character.
Find out about Thomas Aquinas's five rationalist proofs for the
existence of God, Leibniz's brilliant ontological argument and principle
of sufficient reason, Gödel’s dazzling Incompleteness Theorem, the
beguiling Riemann hypothesis, the Multiverse theories of science and why
the human brain - with its two hemispheres doing radically different
types of Fourier mathematics - points the way to a complete and
unambiguous understanding of reality.
Welcome to the Birth of Hyperreason. Welcome to the Mind of God!

Not necessarily. A sensational/empirical, not rational, person is the

type that would not ignore so-called empirical 'evidence.' Empiricism is
about the idea that information from the senses is more truthful than
information from reason. Rationalism is about the idea that information
from reasoning is more truthful than information from the senses. Some
people are completely devoted to the method in either of these schools
of thought, so some empiricists would typically reject all ideas got
from reasoning, such as mathematical proofs, over all ideas got from the
senses, despite that they say the want to be rational. However, they
just come up with arbitrary conjectures and call this 'rational,' when
in fact they are specifically devoted to irrationalism. Information from
the senses has no truth value (so is not evidence whatsoever,) unlike
information from reasoning.
Mathematics is the only source of absolute truth, and mathematics is
everything. It is applicable to everything it is applied to. Mathematics
is the only subject that has remained the same while being built on for
millennia, but science is overturned every few decades or centuries. See
Thomas Kuhn's book /The Structure of Scientific Revolutions/, for
information on the latter. Science would still be stuff like astrology
and alchemy without mathematical models, but mathematics does not need
empiricist science.
Empiricists want to, to some extent, be rationalists, but not vice
versa, and the ideas in materialism can be studied in an idealist
context, but not vice versa. You can argue against all this in an
empiricist materialist reply, but I might not reply: empiricists are not
worth my time.
