Say we want to know what 0.9999..^2 is, now, already, intuition tells you that this is not equal to 1, because it isn't. To find out what this is equal to, let's find 0.9^2 first, what is 0.9^2? That's right, it's 0.81, now, the derivative of the graph x^2 when x = 0.9 is 1.8, now, as x will increase by 0.09999.., we can multiply this change in x by the derivative to find out what 0.999..^2 will be, so, 0.9999..^2 = 0.81 + (1.8*0.09999...), now, this clearly isn't going to be equal to 1, even if i please the one fags and assume 0.09999.. = 0.1, I get that 0.999..^2 = 0.99

As 0.999..^2 is not equal to 1, 0.999.. isn't equal to 1 as 1 * 1 = 1

Less than 1 isn't the same as 1.

The core of the problem in the minds of those who believe less than 1 is 1 is this:

Their inability to comprehend that ".999..." isn't the same as "1" is directly tied to their inability to grasp eternity and infinity. Their minds have basically been programmed to believe eternity and infinity are impossibilities. Over the course of many generations of indoctrination into an alien worldview, their parents and their parents etc gradually "learned" to be unable to comprehend it and this "learned disability" was inherited, and encouraged/fueled by various external factors from the echoing modern culture.

So basically, they're mentally damaged.

This difficulty they have with eternity/infinity shows up in many different fields, from math to astrophysics.

This mental handicap is inherited directly from the (((Abrahamic))) religions, more specifically (((Christianity))) for us Westernerns. In it's origin, the inability to understand infinity and eternity is 100% Judaic in thought/philosophy. In contrast, the non-Jewish man; the Pagan man, at least the /European/ Pagan man, never had any problem with infinity and eternity. (((Christianity))) introduced into the minds of people the idea of life and the world/universe being linear, starting from point A and ending at a point B, whereas in the Native European worldview everything is an infinite circle.

That's why many people today can't understand that .999 repeating forever will never reach 1 - they refuse to accept the idea of an infinite/eternal repetition. Saying "it's 1" is their method of escaping from the uncomfortable (and to them insurmountable) challenge which the concept of infinity/eternity is to their Judaically-induced mental disease.

Very related. A slip-up from one of the "less than 1 is the same as 1" promoters, showing he can't mentally accept that infinity/eternity is real.
