Why can't constructivists construct a largest prime number?

>> No.7620366

Define "large"

a is larger than b if a minus b is positive.

Due to the manner in which we created the prime number, the sentence "largest prime number" constitutes an insidiously subtle contradiction meant only to confuse the ignorant, like those equations which divide by zero to prove 1 = 2.

So basically you're a faggot and you haven't really constructed anything? Got it, thanks ausberger.

>> No.7620745

>>7620742
I just looked up constructionism on wikipedia, I have no stake in this debate. It's just that the same rules from which prime numbers follow prove that there cannot be a largest prime number.
