I mean, I *knew* you were a dumbass, but I had no idea how deep it ran. Marshall

The conditions at and type of death of Cantor are quite relevant as far as the dangers of pondering imponderable infinities while clinically depressed are concerned, in so far as we regard a single data point as relevant. Mathematically speaking, it's of no consequence even if Cantor went mad and murdered all of Germany, by ferociously biting at their ankles while reciting Bacon, as an unfortunate result of too much mulling over infinite infinities of unspeakable character. -- Aatu Koskensilta (aatu.koskensilta(a)uta.fi) "Wovon man nicht sprechan kann, dar�ber muss man schweigen" - Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

You're exactly right. I mean, like it's of no consequence whatsoever what happens here on the planet. If we all die it doesn't matter, there's 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 other suns out to the cosmological event horion, more beyond that, with gazillions of other planets with intelligent life just waiting in line to fill in for us, so we would not be missed in the least, even by us, after we dissociate.

Finally, something more interesting than BURT. I do like the creativity that's in these two posts. 'Bout time! Who said reality matters? They were loco. |
