Random Thoughts III

Infinity is infinitely large.

There are an infinite amount of numbers between one and two.

There is another infinity of numbers between two and three.

We know all of this.

The amount of numbers between one and three would be both the infinity between one and two and the infinity between two and three.

Infinity is as large as anything can be.

The problem I just described gives two infinite items and adds them together.

Yet it isn't twice as large as infinity.

How?

The example you used is a a good way to define infinity.

And yet, one that promises to confuse anyone ti within an inch of their life =)

All hail Circular Logic!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
That was awesome! I love circular logic!

P.S. Do I really need to leave a signature since I'm pretty much the only one you know who doesn't actually HAVE a blogging account? :P

Reogan said...

Good point. Get an account ;)

I have an irrational fear of cyberstalkers. No way. the most I will "talk" online is if I can be anonymous (like I am here) or e-mail. :P

Reogan said...

It's a google account. Google's almost half secure!

Anonymous said...

Exactly. Until they make something hackers can't hack, nothing doing. :P

Reogan said...

Please? Do it for me? I'll let you be an author on the blog.







Probably...

Hmmm... Now you've got me curious... I still don't know. Do you have to give out personal info? Cuz if you do, NO WAY.

Reogan said...

You need to give Google (Uber-secure) your email, as it functions as your username. Remember, this is Google. And that's really it. You also need to make up a password (not personal information. It's made up). Finally, make a display name. Like Reogan. But not as awesome.

Hmmm... again... might talk to the parents about it. idk... hackers still scare the crap out of me.

Reogan said...

Try it :)

How would I be an author on the blog?

Reogan said...

I'd send you an invitation email. Then you'd agree, and post things. Then the revolution would occur and Met would be removed! Mwahahaha.




Heh... it's a joke.

Reogan said...

The removing Met part, that is.

Met said...

I let you get away with too much I fear.

Reogan said...

Yes, yes you do.

But I'd have to set up a google account first, correct? Would I have to make a blog of my own, or am I confusing things unneccesarily (probably spelled wrong)?

Anonymous said...

P.S. I don't think I would post all that often.

Reogan said...

You don't need to make a google account first. It IS a google account. The same account you can then use for gmail and youtube if you want.And you will be prompted to make a blog, but it's by no means required. And any (competent) postings better than none, so don't worry about frequency :)

Elphaba said...

My first official comment as someone with a Google account! Yay!

Reogan said...

Success!

Elphaba said...

Has it really been seven months since I got a Google account? And six months since I started posting? Huh...

Reogan said...

Yet you under-use both privileges.

Elphaba said...

No I don't! I post once a week here, and once my schedule gets less crazy, I'll restart regular posting on my blog. Plus I post semi-regularly on my private one.

Reogan said...

Oh, your right. How could I presume to say that you under-use your blogger account when I only post four times (at least) on this blog, periodically on BTL and irregularly on FWIT? /sarcasm

Elphaba said...

Because you overuse yours. I still use mine; I just have other priorities as well.

Reogan said...

If you think I care in the least about these 'other priorities,' you're horribly mistaken. As mistaken as you are about my alleged overuse of blogging. I simply provide.


Don't deny that your grateful.

Elphaba said...

I hadn't planned to deny it. And I also realize that blogging is very important to you.

Reogan said...

Objection! Blogging is merely a means to communicate my genius to others. The system of blogging has little meaning to me.

Elphaba said...

That works, too. ;)

Reogan said...

I said it. Of course it works.

Met said...

Doesn't just work for you though...

Reogan said...

Which is a pity.
