This mofo is based. Borrows from wittgenstein. Mofo is wide awake.

and here comes algebraic calculus 2 the revenge of wildberger

It’s not a matter of belief. Math isn’t a fucking religion. It’s playing around with axioms. You make a model, see what follows from the model, and some people will try to find a real life system that resembles your model so that your autistic ramblings actually produce some practical results. You fit the mathematical models to reality, not the other way around. Wildberger’s entire argument is an appeal to reality, which math gives zero fucks about. The system is either consistent or not consistent. Don’t like it? Show it’s inconsistent or fuck off.

and there comes algebraic calculus 2 with a vengeance

someone redpill me of what this guy thinks of numbers like pi and e?

>> No.10532017

>>10531991
Idk if he’s ever talked about e, but he doesn’t believe that pi is a number since it’s irrational. He thinks it’s only an approximation of a geometric concept that shouldn’t be treated as a concrete object.

>>10531991
They only exist as far as you calculate them. That’s literally what he believes. He’s a nutcase.
