Here's a joke. "What's the difference between a terrorist and a redhead?"

Here's the punchline. "You can negotiate with a terrorist."

LOL!!!! What nonsense. :o)

God, people are always looking for something to get self-pitying about, aren't they? As if it kinda removes the obligation to go out and grasp the day. Grow the hell up and stop whining.

Perhaps we need some kind of Godel's Diagonal Proof for non-countable unacceptability?

Forgive me - am in frivolous mood. :o)

Is it good or bad that, while my alarm clock was having a real hard time of it getting me out of bed this morning, the sudden random realisation that I had written "Godel" instead of "Cantor" in this particular comment got me out of bed like a rocket and scurrying to the computer to correct myself? :o)

Hey, Godel's proof is also a diagonal proof so that's OK!

Phew! Thank goodness for that!

That's in the last unit of the course I was doing currently (in abeyance for obvious personal reasons atm) so I hadn't seen it yet. :o)

Possibly. ;-)

It strikes me that the proof that 1=2 is actually a spookily accurate analogy for this, involving as it does a sneaky multiplication of both sides by zero. That's not that dismilar to:

A is unacceptable. B is unacceptable. Therefore A and B are as bad as each other in all other respects.

...which seems to be how the argument in the article is running.

Yes, that's kind of what I was aiming at. Your comprehension is much appreciated. :o)
