Howdy there partner!

I've been seeing you post those real numbers here lately. Y'know we don't take kindly to those hooligans around these parts. Sorry to say buckaroo, but I'm going to have to ask you to stop. You should know by now infinity is inherently a flawed concept.

Stay out of trouble partner. Yeehaw!

Ah Norman while you are here I've been meaning to ask. Do you think if we exclude transcendental numbers from the reals, we can construct the realms by saying they are the set of numbers which are solutions to polynomials or can be constructed by linear combinations of square root terms. I believe this definition would satisfy proper rigor, at the cost of some very useful transcendentals. As a corollary how could we include the transcendentals or any other type of number I'm missing?

I don't know how to construct transcendentals in general, I would like to include transcendentals in the reals. But Norman does not accept dedekind cuts, so we need a different construction method. Perhaps there is a function out there which has zeros at transcendentals or something like that. We could then construct the reals as solutions to that magic function.

They are dual opposites
Wildberger is a competent and smart mathematician constructing a coherent, but useless new math because of purism
Tooker is a deluded idiot who knew basic math at some point, but then thought he could understand heavy concepts just by looking at their wikipedia pages and it went all downhill from here

this. he's not wrong, but he's also not right. his philosophy is that "world is finite, therefore the math should also be finite", and it's everyone's personal decision whether they agree with this. most mathematicians don't, and not because they religiously believe that infinity is in some sense real, but because infinite math a) is useful and gives correct predictions and results about our world b) is fun.

Anyone who uses more numbers than 1, 2, 3, and 4 is lying to themselves and others that they can even conceptualise such things. Also you can't have zero of a thing. That's just not having it. And infinity can't be processed and probably isn't real.

>>11072273
Wildy is doing good work but is unwilling to acknowledge that maths is fake.

Addendum: Even using 4 is iffy. I suspect most people who actually try to consider "4" as more than just a symbol with no actual meaning other than rules around it is actually visualising two lots of two. Three is probably the bleeding edge limit of human cognition.
Neuron fire and neuron not fire is about as complex as human thinking. I see three as two outside things with a middle thing. I see two more solidly as two things.
If you want to tell me that 10,000 is a real number, I don't believe you.

Not in this political climate but given that he names every character, look out for upcoming jewish names. Or if he needs to be more cautious, look out for a new character named Jonathan intentionally pronounced as Jewnathan. I mean, even if not antisemitic, it's impossible to tell the history of banking without mentioning them.
