One of the sadder things about this whole saga is how often people lose
in arguing with me--and just claim otherwise.

Then some other people claim they didn't lose, and the cycle continues.

So it's a group thing.

Kind of like a race where one runner leaves the others in the dust, but
after the race is over, they just say he lost.

This has been going on for years.

So no matter what, from my prime counting programs to the partial
difference equation within them, to my definition of mathematical
proof, to my logical ideas, the math people just say it's nothing
important.

So tonite I posted a simple algebra argument that blows away some
crappy math ideas, but so?

I've done it before.

The real world is about failure--the failure of reason.

More people will die this year from the failure of reason than anything
else, and even more will die the next year and the next, and you know
what?

A lot of those people will die confident they were making the best
decisions.

Reality is that a lot of people can be confidently wrong, and lead each
other, confidently, and wrongly, and face the consequences of those
mistakes, and it not change the reality, that a lot of people can be
confidently wrong and lead each other, confidently, and wrongly.

Proof for most people is just a word.


You problem is that you think by resisting the idea to learn common
mathematics that you can some how force everyone else to go a long with
your ideas about math. Its like me trying to convert all the chinese to
learn english when I can't speak a word of it.

Why don't you first try to learn a bit of mathematics before you try to
talk to mathematicians about math? Oh, I forgot... your just a troll. A
big fucking ugly one too.



I've asked the same question, but I think his position would be that math
books are written by dirty lying mathematicians.
