He's been BTFO of hard. First by himself, Buriali-Forti and Russell, later by mathematicians adopting axiomatic set theories incapable of even making any sense of the CH, and now fighting over what bullshit axioms we should adopt to make the CH either true or false. Really, Skolem was right on the nose that CH is not even a well-posed problem to begin with.

Undergrads think they understand real numbers because they can do little simple contrived exercises about them. Absolutely delusional.
Anyone who spends some time genuinely reflecting on real numbers will realize that they are complete nonsense and that set theory is dumb and fake.

>By the time Green's father died in 1829, the senior Green had become one of the gentry due to his considerable accumulated wealth and land owned, roughly half of which he left to his son and the other half to his daughter. The young Green, now thirty-six years old, consequently was able to use this wealth to abandon his miller duties and pursue mathematical studies.

computers also don't deal with irrational numbers so by that logic something eminently observable like the hypotenuse of a right triangle with two equal sides or the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter are nonsense because your precious computers can't represent them exactly

Grothendieck is literally comparable with the latter-day Skywalker. Late in his life, Grothendieck was sought out by a young female grad student. She clumsily hopped over his fence and he scolded her. She managed to interview him for a time, but he bade her leave. IIRC the incident occured and was documented before the space flick.

This lines up pretty well with the Luke/Rey interaciton in Last Jedi, is my point. "Go away slut, I'm busy sulking, I have nothing to prove."

The issue is definitions by subset comprehension.
Defining a real x as the solution of x squared equals two might be more tractable than to say x="the smallest element of set subset of R given by <arbitrary predicate>"

Cope. You cannot complete the infinite. You're not God.
There are no models of the concepts that you're talking about like there are models of (small in complexity) rational numbers. We don't even know if questions about the "infinite" are even meaningful. You can ask if 81231+131231 is divisible by 7. That's a meaningful question with an answer. But nobody knows if "is pi+e rational" even has a definite answer. We know CH is meaningless, at least given our current axiomatic system, even though it's a very natural question if you assume the objects involved actually exist.
But of course, as typical of a standard indoctrinated math groupie, you will ignore all the evidence that suggest you're living in a fantasy world and go on with your wishful thinking.
