"oh? so you'd be alright if humans disappeared so long as they weren't making any new things anymore?" ha, that's DEFINITELY not what I said or meant. Humans don't have to dream up NEW things in order to BE new. Like... Just because the internet exists and now we have all the same shared cultural ethos (lol, as if the internet wasn't just a massive collection of echo chambers) just because the internet exists doesn't mean we share the same selves. the same experience. the same perspective. people are WILDLY different from one another. The number of possible human experiences (quantum fluctuations according to each and every choice and decision they made) that number is so wildly and massively incomparably boundless.

Unless it's a binary thing, like "top and bottom" or "present and absent". I wonder what those steps might look like? Clearly, since infinity minus infinity does not equal zero, the steps inbetween (if they exist) would not be numbers. If they were, then one single step from inverting infinity would be 1, but I don't believe that would be true. On the topic of rings, the axioms would be things like "a ring is a ring if you can trace a continuous line with a length of infinity across it's ring-like-surface"? I wonder what the inverse of a length is... Or perhaps you cannot invert a length, as to do so would give you a length of zero (in this particular ring-like-case) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ --- #8 fediverse/4031 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────── if you want to "not think about a purple elephant", the first step is to imagine yourself slaying it ... okay how about cthulu - if you don't want to imagine cthulu nomming on our gravity well, then picture yourself wielding a bright burning blade of fire and vengeance and pay special attention to the way that you cauterize each tentacle as you slice them one by one at first, and then in a massive flurry at best, ultimately leading to the incomparable brightness that radiates out from your shining blade of the sky, which blinds the poor beast who can't see you as you approach, piercing the skull and then going home for some toast if you can get good at that, then you can wield magic ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────┘ --- #9 fediverse/5248 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────── programming is something that everyone should learn at 14 to be used for calculating large sums of data, visualizing something they're trying to explain, or connect two systems that aren't normally connected.
