Well, he's technically correct (if we want to remain in reality).

nostr:npub1sfhflz2msx45rfzjyf5tyj0x35pv4qtq3hh4v2jf8nhrtl79cavsl2ymqt and nostr:npub1au23c73cpaq2whtazjf6cdrmvam6nkd4lg928nwmgl78374kn29sq9t53j I think there has never been a debate about infinity and its different degrees on Nostr. Shall we get the ball rolling?

there is at least two types of infinity, infinite scalars and infinite divisibility (aka theoretical smooth), those are just the two areas i am most familiar with because of their applicability to my work (and physics, chemistry and statistical analysis) i'd love to hear about other types infinity, but i suspect that the types of infinity are finite 😜

Giacomo is a poopy face constructivist. mic drop. the end.

Actually, there are infinite types of infinity If you take a set, and make the power set, you get a strictly bigger set, even if they are infinite. That's known as the Cantor theorem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor's_theorem

So fucking bullshit

smoothness suggests a continuum whereas you can have infinitely divisible rational dust too 🤷‍♀️

that's so us
