Re: Complexity, deception and Occam
The only problem is that, all the greatest Philosophers in history were classed as such after their deaths. None of them claimed that they were the greatest philosophers themselves in their life time.

Re: 0 is not a number
0 is not a number. 0 is just a state of nothing. Proof: Numbers can have - (negative) signs. 0 cannot be negative or positive. It follows that 0 is not a number. Because 0 is not a number, no number can be divided, multiplied subtracted or added with 0. Okay. But was there any point to pointing thi...

Re: 0 is not a number
0 is not a number. 0 is just a state of nothing. Proof: Numbers can have - (negative) signs. a = -0 5 + a = 5-0 = 5 Oh look it still works! Depending on the parser at hand, the token stream "5+-0" will generate a syntax error. But then again, many won't. It depends on the regular expressi...

Proof: Numbers can have - (negative) signs.
5 + a = 5-0 = 5
Oh look it still works!
It just proves that 5 + a = 5 - 0 = 5 was a waste of time.

Re: About space.
Can Hilbert Space be applied to the physical space? Or is it just for the conceptual space only?

You were only stating the points from 3rd party perspective only, which is one sided. You are not a worthy interlocutor I am a speculative philosopher. You are a narrow...

Re: Death and meaning of life
By “pondering” I might more accurately have said “obsessing”, as can be the case with committed inquiry into any classical philosophical question. "Obsessing" would be clearly a wrong term. Who would get obsessed with philosophical topics? It is interesting to have discussions about them ...
