A Note for Jerad, the Asshole Wanker

-
EvoTARDs are so clueless. For example I say that saying two countable and infinite sets have the same cardinality is useless and worthless. It doesn't give us anything and doesn't help us solve anything.

To that evoTARDs, Jerad included, say that Set Theory is faundamental to mathematics!

Yet I am not talking about the whole of set theory, just one tiny insignifant part of it. Strange that those morons cannot grap such a simple fact soi they have to try to bullshit their way to some sort of refutation. That is because in reality they are mathematical dolts.

Jerad wants me to watch lectures on Set Theory. Unfortunately it is obvious that no lectures even touch on the subject I am discussing. No one on this planet can tell me the use of saying two countable and infinite sets have the same cardinality even though it is obvious that one set has more elements than the other when using the standard counting method.

    I just tried to answer your questions and figure out how your method worked. Don't blame me if you don't like the answers or can't be bothered to figure out what they mean or what their implications are.

    Some things can't be just distilled down to a sentence or two and then spoon-fed to someone. Sometimes, if you want to know some things, you have to do some work.

    And calling names and using profanity is hardly the way to win an argument.

    Jerad,

    My method works by actually counting the elements of the set.

    And nice of you to avoid the OP at all costs- coward.

     
  • At 12:17 PM, Blogger Unknown said…

    Well, I figured since you've pretty much ignored most of the answers I've given you AND you didn't respond to the seeming contradictions I raised in your method on another thread that I could just speak my mind.

    Anyway, have fun with your notions of the largest known number and the largest number (both of which don't exist but hey, if you haven't got any real friends then imaginary ones will have to do).

    It's too bad you're the only person I've ever met who thinks that way but you can't answer some questions about. Guess you'd better think about it some more 'cause if you can't use your method then it ain't gonna get used. You gotta come up with the goods if you want to 'win'.

    1- You didn't provide any answers to the question at hand- namely what good is it to say that two countable and infinite sets have the same cardinality.

    2- The alleged contradictions exist only in your mind

    3- Have fun with your notions of infinity- it doesn't exist excpt for in some people's minds

    4- My method can be used by anyone who can use a number line- strange that you have difficulties with it.

    "1- You didn't provide any answers to the question at hand- namely what good is it to say that two countable and infinite sets have the same cardinality."

    It's foundational to Set Theory which is foundational to lots of areas of mathematics.

    "2- The alleged contradictions exist only in your mind"

    Too bad you didn't address them directly.

    "3- Have fun with your notions of infinity- it doesn't exist excpt for in some people's minds"

    Does that mean you don't think 1/x^2 approaches infinity as x approaches zero?

    "4- My method can be used by anyone who can use a number line- strange that you have difficulties with it."

    But you can't handle some situations like:

    Which set is larger; the set of all prime number or the postitive integer multiples of 12?

    Nor can can you say whether the reals or the integers have greater cardinality. Can you?

    Maybe you should stop bragging and start showing some things.

    Bullshit. Strange that you cannot tell me what use it is.

    Sed the asshole who cannot address my methdology directly.

    Does that mean you don't think 1/x^2 approaches infinity as x approaches zero?

    Does that mean your little mind cannot handle really, really large (or small) numbers that you have to invent infinity?

    But you can't handle some situations like:

    Perhaps you can't.

    Which set is larger; the set of all prime number or the postitive integer multiples of 12?

    Why can't my methodology figure that out?

    If you want me to do it then pay me. Or do it yourself, Mr MS math.

    Nor can can you say whether the reals or the integers have greater cardinality.

    Same question- why do you think my methodology doesn't work?
    My methodology would say the real have a greater cardinality. The reals contain the intergers and have members the integers do not.

    Maybe you should stop bragging and start showing some things.

    What bragging? And all you need to see is a number line and then the sets involved.

    Strange you can't bother to read a webpage. Oh well, just lazy I guess.

    Strange you haven't answered many questions I have asked you about your methodology.

    "Does that mean your little mind cannot handle really, really large (or small) numbers that you have to invent infinity?"

    Oh I can handle very large number easily. But 1/x^2 can beat any number you propose as x gets closer and closer to zero and that is something you are NOT addressing.

    " 'Which set is larger; the set of all prime number or the postitive integer multiples of 12?'

    Why can't my methodology figure that out?"

    Great, then handle it.

    "If you want me to do it then pay me. Or do it yourself, Mr MS math."

    I'm happy to tell you my answer, for free. The question is: can you answer it? And you seemingly can't.

    "My methodology would say the real have a greater cardinality. The reals contain the intergers and have members the integers do not."

    So, the cardinality of the real numbers is greater than the cardinaly of the integers? Yes? Just like Cantor said?

    So the real numbers and the intergers are both infinitee sets. The cardinality of the reals is greater. What about the cardinaloty of the rational numbers? Where does that fit in?

    My methodology involves COUNTING using a NUMBER LINE and the sets' members' actual place along that line.

    But 1/x^2 can beat any number you propose as x gets closer and closer to zero and that is something you are NOT addressing.

    Well I keep hearing that infinity is not a number and only a larger NUMBER can beat a large NUMBER.

    I'm happy to tell you my answer, for free.

    I know your "answer" and it amounts to nothing more than throwing your hands up and saying they are equal!

    Nice job.

    " 'But 1/x^2 can beat any number you propose as x gets closer and closer to zero and that is something you are NOT addressing.'

    True, but when a sequence or function can meet or beat any number you specify then we say it approached infinity. Try and keep up.

    "I know your "answer" and it amounts to nothing more than throwing your hands up and saying they are equal!"

    So, you still can't answer some of my questions.

    Nope, wrong answer. You're not going to pass your final exam at this rate.

    An anaology of Jerad's reponse:

    You are entitled to your opinion. Whether or not it's worth anything is another matter.

    Getting a bunch of us to argue with you and, therefore, make your argumetns look imporatant can backfire on you. If you end up looking like someone who can't be bothered to do some work in an attempt to understand basic Set Theory concepts then you will probably find yourself a major focus of derision.

    "And your opinion means nothing, Jerad. And your continued false accusations prove taht you have nothing."

    And why should you 'opinions' carry more weight than mine?

    How are my objections false?

    Where is your support amongst the academic community? Upon what body of work can you find support for your views?

    It's not just a matter of coming up with something and assuming you're right and everyone else it wrong. I might be the case that you ARE right and you've found some new and correct paradigm. But you have to prove it. You have to defend it. You have to argue your case in the public mathematical forum. And if your idea runs counter to over a century of accepted theorems then you can espect to face a large amount of criticism.

    If you can't be bothered or are incapable of defending you ideas then you will not be taken seriously. And you can stand on the sideline and make as big a fuss as you like but the game will go on without you unless you can prove that you can abide by the rules. And you're not doing that.

    And you will be ignored. And, in this case, justifiably so.

    For one you don't even deal with my methodology and you just keep repeating the norm. And you withhave yet to say what advantage it has to call two countable and infinite sets equal in size.

    "And I don't care about games, just reality."

    Great, here's a real question: if you have a square that's exactly 1 unit long on a side what is the length of the diagonal?

     
  • At 4:37 PM, Blogger Joe G said…

    Try it- start at 0 and count every non-negative integer with one counter and every positive even integer with another. The counter counting the non-negative integers will always be at least 2x that as the other counter, ie it will always have more elements- ALWAYS- as long as infinity exists and especially when infinity ceases to exist.

    And no one can demonstrate otherwise. All Jerad can do is act like the little whiny baby that he is.

  • At 5:42 PM, Blogger Joe G said…

    Jerad,

    Whether or not I know the values has no effect on their existence.

    And 2, being a prime number, is only divisible by 1 and itself.

    And measuring a line all depends on the unit of measure. Do you really think that carpenters have problems measuring between two pieces of wood?

    Ya see Jerad, if you have 2 finite end points then there will be a finite distance between them.

     
  • At 5:51 PM, Blogger Unknown said…

    "Whether or not I know the values has no effect on their existence."

    But if you think it exists then you should be able to show that. By producing the number.

    "And 2, being a prime number, is only divisible by 1 and itself."

    So, only whole numbers that are perfect squares have a square root? So the Pythogorean theorem is mostly useless? And Trigonometry? That's crap too?

    "And measuring a line all depends on the unit of measure. Do you really think that carpenters have problems measuring between two pieces of wood?"

    Nope, I have no trouble with real world approximations. But you haven't answered any of the questions. Maybe you can't.

    "Ya see Jerad, if you have 2 finite end points then there will be a finite distance between them."

    And how does that answer any of the following questions?

    What is the cardinality of {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . }

    What is the smallest element of (0, 1)? Your own assertion.

    What is the exact length of the diagonal of a unit square?

    "It has to exist. Or else the definition of a number line is wrong and totally misleading."

    Okay, then what is it? You don't know and you can't find it. So you're stuck. You won't back down and you can't figure out what the number is.

    " 'So, only whole numbers that are perfect squares have a square root?'

    Non answer."

    A question for you that was not meant to be an answer. Try and pay attention. And try and answer questions about your methods.

    "'So the Pythogorean theorem is mostly useless? And Trigonometry? That's crap too?'

    To you, absolutely. However that doesn't follow from what I have posted."

    I believe what the Pythagorean theorem and Trigonometry tell me: that there is a number root 2 that is the diagonal of a unit square. And that root 2 has no finite decimal expansion because it's an irrational number. But you don't believe such numbers exist despite the fact that mathematicians have known they exist for 2000 years.

    "And still no exact number for the square root of 2…"

    Do you even read the answers people provide for you? I guess not. And you never seem to get around to answering some questions that you say have solutions.

    What is the cardinality of {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . } ?

    And, since you brought it up, what is the cardinality of {1, ½, ¼, ⅛ . . . . } ?

    What is the smallest element in (0, 1) ?

    What is the length of the diagonal of a unit circle?

    If your methods cannot answer those questions then your methods are pretty crap.

    "Still too much of a pussy to ante up, eh Jerad…."

    It's not my fault you can't handle non-rational numbers even after they've been explained to you. Over 2000 years ago people figured them out. Too bad you didn't keep up.

    AND, even though you don't understand my answers I have tried to address your questions. But you can't even bother to defend some of your own statements. You keep hoping I'll forget or get sidetracked by your profanity or attemps to divert the issue.

    What's the smallest number in (0, 1) ? You say it exists but, funnily enough, JoeMath can't find it.

    How do the cardinalities of {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . .} and {1, 2, 3, 4 . . . } compare? They're sets, they have cardinalities. Do they have the same cardinality? Are they different? Don't forget now: cardinality isn't about the elements of the set just how many of them there are. Didn't want to hear your "itls like comparing apples and oranges" gaffe again.

    Go on, you can at least tell me what you measure the diagonal of a unit square to be and then see if your answer satisfies the Pythagorean theorem and the rules of Trigonometry. We've pretty much figured out that you never really took any set theory 'cause you didn't even know aleph-0 or aleph-nought but surely you do know the Pythagorean theorem and basic rules of trig? Surely you can handle 1/sin(45). And give me an exact answer.

    Oh and, while you're at it, what's the circumference of a unit circle? Exactly. Draw one and measure it. Does the locus of points that form the circle form an infinite set? Not if they have a 'thickness' I suppose. So, how many points does it take to form a unit circle? 100? 1000? 10,000?

    Oh, here's another good one. You'll like this: 11 and 13 are called a prime pair 'cause they are only 2 apart. Are there infinitely many prime pairs? I'm gussing you'll say it's a meaningless question 'cause there's no such thing as infinity and beyond that which we can handle in some finite time is stupid. Which is such a limited view point. But, I guess if you can't handle infinity they you gotta stay in your finite box.

    I like this one. Take the function f(x) = 1/x from x = 1 onwards and rotate it about the x-axis. Kind of looks like one of those medieval trumpets. Now, what is the surface area and what is the volume? You took a calculus class so you should be able to handle that. It's a pretty basic thing really. If you know what you're doing.
