opa, i started writing a response to that

i'm just gonna summarise it:

the biggest error in thinking and the flaw that evil people exploit is that singularities can be both qualitative and quantitative

when you confuse the two things, you end up with an impossible equation and your brain ceases to funciton properly, and you lose some part of your ability to apprehend reality

but it's really simple, you have nothing, you have everything, and in between you have something that is divided into value and type

if you relate that to computer programming, you can see exactly what i'm saying

types are a kind of data, that is kinda invisible to the code, which acts upon values and a subset of values called references

if you can't discern the distinction between quality and quantity, you can't make sense of the data coming to you

something cannot be infinity, or nothing, and a quality cannot be counted, bit it can be differentiated

and qualities and quantities merge in an awkward way with "real" numbers, which are not really real, they are ratios, they have some aspects of quantitative - they can be summed, subtracted, multiplied and divided, but they are similar to qualities in that they can be infinitely elaborated, combined, and then divided again and merged again forever

but in reality, on your computer, 0.11111111 = 0.11111111 except when it is 0.11111111112 but you ran out of bits that's why you didn't know that

hm not sure where i'm going with this but the point is that arithmetic is the concrete, and the infinite is qualitative and arithmetic on it fails in its lack of precision 

 Its interesting to hear these concepts through a different language. I think we're saying the same things, at least mostly. We're vibing. 

 i have a very concrete way of thinking, always have

people say i'm unsophisticated but i say they are hiding their equations

i literally have recurring nightmares about how people hide their equations, they are like treadplates hidden under rubble that you have to pass through to rescue the princess... they manifest in my dreams as giant 20 foot tall skulls and the jaws are hidden under the ground and you never know where they hid the treadplate

it's an impossible conundrum, unless you first agree to always allow the consensus to be elaborated

and it's a toxic relationship if the changes that are permitted are redefinitions

only psychopaths redefine terms

only psychopaths ultimately want to munch you
