Memorial sermon for John von Neumann, who died on Feb. 8,  1957

See also yesterday’s entry
on philosophy professor
Joan Stambaugh and the
fabrication of a now-famous saying
   falsely attributed to Einstein–
that the Bible is “pretty childish.”

Stambaugh advocates
a Zen form of nihilism.

The 4×4 space illustrated
above is a Western form
of the the Sunyata, or
emptiness, discussed by
Stambaugh in
The Formless Self.

It appeared in this journal
on the feast day this year
of St. John Neumann.
