the math poll

[The Good Reverend Roger]

for centuries without it, the appearance of Zero was guaranteed to happen eventually.

It's what happens when you let Belgians crossbreed with Norwegians.

if everything is essentially chaos

Good start.  And we, as pattern makers, invented a way to impose patterns on the chaos.

One of these patterns was math.  That doesn't mean math existed before we invented it, but once the pattern was created then it framed the Chaos in such a way that other patterns could be created.

So that does not preclude the existence of math prior to our codification, yes?  But it does mean that if it did exist prior to our discovery of it that it could have simply been apple crumb cake.

No.

Pay attention.  The establishment of game rules determined that certain patterns would arise.

Those patterns would not exist without the establishment of game rules.

I don't get it.

Did I already state ITT that math is a religion?  If not, I do so here now.  If I did, oh well, at least I'm consistent.

ALL MATHEMATICIANS ARE FANATICS




You are educated evil,
and might have to kill
the evil ONE teaching
educators before you
can learn that 4 corner
days actually exist -but
all Cube Truth denied.

Dumb ass educators fear
me and hide from debate.

They are paid to teach a propaganda book - not
Cube Truth - for which
they would be fired. Evil
teachers betray students,
as ONE is a Death Value.
Cube 4x4 voids 1 & God.
USA ripe for holocaust.

Man evolves from teenager -
in cube metamorphosis
but ignores teenager to worship a male mother,
guised in woman's garb,
churchman called father.
Adult god is adult crime
upon their own children.
More holocaust deserved.

Okay, I think I see your point.  But if Math is a language then wouldn't that counter your argument?  Because the Math would exist outside itself as an expression of an idea or concept.

What the fuck are you talking about?  English does not exist outside of itself.  No language does.  Except Spanish, because all things Spanish are dangerous, even when they don't exist.

I can't speak Spanish, or any variant thereof.  I am the most un-Mexican Mexican you could ever meet.

my point was that if Math is a language then it exists outside of itself due to its primary use of defining parameters and the world...and then as...a lang...nevermind, I retract my statement.

So, all the Spanish drained out of you?  That sucks.

I took 2 years of spanish, and the best i can do is count to like thirty, say hello goodbye, thank you and ask what time it is.  My Irish buddy speaks Spanish really well, its a hoot to be with us at a Mexican restaurant.  waiter asks me stuff in Spanish and the Irish guy responds in Spanish while I respond in Russian (really bad russian, but they seldom know the difference).
