But just don't go off on this shit about things being fundamentally objectively true or false or real or fake With numbers, especially, that's just silly I mean you're now the "2+2=5" guy, do you understand that "Limits doesn't real, calculus is a fake"

Have we done "the sum of all the positive integers is negative one twelfth" yet? I always liked that one as a "wait, what" maths moment....

They only do that if you believe in the idea of limits and infinite series and don't think they're stupid Zeno did think so Our JustCanadian7 friend also thinks so, and they are entirely entitled to that belief
