    For that matter, the real numbers are fake as fuck. “Ah yes, let’s just throw in uncountably many non-computable numbers.” They have played us for absolute fools.

      The set of all rational numbers has zero size in the real numbers. And yet, they’re fucking dense, meaning you can find a rational arbitrarily close to any real number. I mean, what the fuck?

      “there are as many even/odd/prime/composite numbers as there are numbers”

        Yeah TREE(3) is so big, how can you possibly know that there are that many evens??
