VendingMenace Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 I wish to bring this up again...numbers are controversial...there are way too many ways around them...thus making them irrelevent... What are the ways around them? I would be interested to hear
KHinfcube22 Posted December 15, 2003 Author Posted December 15, 2003 ummm...well its not really what I ment...what I ment is that 2+3 doesn't always = 5...in a base 4 sytem, 2+3 would equal 10...and such...they are like the english language in way too many ways...oh well...
greg1917 Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Numbers aren't 'irrelevant' - there's a difference between having an opinion and just being flat out wrong. Chemitry, physics, biology and just about everything else have either some basis in the numerical system or a total one. You've yet to explain any claim you've made and just seem confused.
Dave Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Infact, I don't even know why this thread is actually still around. I thought we'd discussed this at great length already?
KHinfcube22 Posted December 15, 2003 Author Posted December 15, 2003 Hey...I'm just as suprised as you this hasn't been closed...but the fact that pure randomness can produce a modern or futuristic society without numbers means that there must be one somewhere...we don't need numbers...only just to explain why something works...not to work...We can have everything and just not know why...oh well....
greg1917 Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 We do need numbers. This isnt my opinion. Does '...oh well...' at the end of a post indicate your dreaming up more vague, non-descript unexplained pap? Its just that I spot a pattern.
KHinfcube22 Posted December 16, 2003 Author Posted December 16, 2003 I use 'oh well' in most my posts in all my forums now-a-days...Oh well...I guess it has to do with tradmarking...you can know its me when there is a bunch of '...' and an 'oh well' in the post...otherwise its usually a fake...Oh well...thats life I guess...
Dave Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Due to the fact that (a) we've done this all before and (b) it's been blown completely out of proportion, I'm closing the thread.
