infinity plus one





Dearest precious Nobody,
i discovered something interesting today and i thought that i would share it with you. 
well, you know infinity right?
well apparently you can type it, there is a key stroke for it ...who knew? it's unicode+221E
now i can type ∞ +1...which is good.
∞+1

∞ +1  insists upon the incomprehensibility of the infinite while liberating you with your indisputable insignificance. "Wait" you think "you can't add 1 to infinity that's dumb"...but then you realize that you can't actually comprehend infinity...that you're dumb.that we are all pretty dumb. phew...what a relief.
∞ +1 simultaneously takes you back to simpler, more ignorant times, when the incomprehensible was simply part of playground logic... when you could add one to ∞ and the debate would continue...well that debate is underway on the new playground that in the internet where corporations are trying to put a price tag on  pieces of the infinite...here is a seemingly incomprehensible, indisputable and oversimplified equation in the form of a question for todays playground.
   if       ∞ - x = ∞ 
and       ∞ - 2 x = ∞
and   ∞ - 10 x = ∞ 
and   ∞ - 10 10 x = ∞
find the value of x
and who gets to decide?
simpler, more ignorant times indeed.


∞ +1 reminds us that we ourselves are infinitely  incomprehensible and incomprehensibly ignorant...and a whole bunch of other stuff but i am getting bored.

  1. ∞ - 10^10 x = ∞

    Subtract ∞ on both sides. Then we get -10^10 x = 0, meaning that x has to be zero.

    Yay, for I have conquered infinity!

  2. x does indeed equal zero but it wont cost zero..that's for sure. thanks for your equating.
