Numbers


Here's a proof that numbers can't exist:

  1. The natural world is the sum of what exists.
  2. Numbers are not part of the natural world.
  3. Therefore, numbers do not exist.

Here's another:

  1. Numbers can never replicate exactly what happens.
  2. What happens is what is.
  3. Therefore, numbers are not.

And another:

  1. All things that exist have a spatio-temporal location.
  2. Numbers do not exist in time.
  3. Therefore, numbers do not exist.

Getting bored?

  1. Everything is contingent.
  2. Numbers are necessary.
  3. Therefore, numbers do not exist.

I am.
  1. Everything is relative.
  2. Numbers are not.
  3. Therefore, numbers are nothing.


How about:

  1. Green trees cannot be both red and green all over.
  2. Santa is not blue.
  3. Therefore, numbers do not exist.

And finally,

  1. 0 equals nothing.
  2. All numbers are similar to 0.
  3. Therefore, all numbers equal nothing.
