>then you have -10 ships.
No, in MATERIAL sense you have zero ships. Can't you count?

And you're conspicuously ignoring the problem of an irrational number of ships. Half a ship is easy, just chop a ship in half. Half a ship. But you can't do an irrational number of ships, because mass and energy are quantized. No matter how you divide a ship, you'll have a ratio of ship parts. A rational number.

Yet irrational numbers are still real. They show up almost immediately in geometry, we can do math with them, it works and they're useful. They exist, but not in a MATERIAL sense. Materialism cannot account for irrational numbers, therefore materialism cannot account for all that is true.

Nor can we compute all that is true. The set of true statements in a consistent set of axioms is incomputable. Yet the statements in the set of all true statements are still true, even though that set is incomputable. So if you think you can discover all truths using material means of computation, you're still shit out of luck.
