There is a statistics point here. There are situations where you can get any answer you want depending on the order in which you observe/analyze your data so you have to be careful about that. The details of this are too long for this tweet!

Can you explain the original?

The primes have zero "upper density:" in the limit as N tends to infinity, the ratio #{primes < N} / #{natural mums < N} tends to zero.

I love that this is true.

I guess you have to do this annoying thing with lim n-> infty #{primes < n}/n or something like that and that's 0

If I remember my number theory class from college, if you're talking in terms of cardinality, there are just as many primes as there are integers because you can make an infinite set where they map 1 to 1

Yep, just define a bijection between the integers and the primes which is trivial to do and presto, 100% of the integers are primes.
