Mathematics is shit

Just look at these ugly swatches of code:

That is what you get, when programming immitates math. Even Java and PHP looks beautiful compared to that. Mathematics should be banned as a harmful and obfuscated teaching.

>>106
>>76 is:
- claiming that the real interval [0,1] is a subset of the natural numbers.
- using that claim to prove that subsets of countable sets can be uncountable.

The fallacy here is that the real interval [0,1] is not a subset of the natural numbers, because 0.5 nor pi are natural numbers, but are contained in [0,1].

Let's use the integer interval [0,1] instead, which is the set {0,1}. It has 2 elements: 0, 1. It is countable. It is a subset of the natural numbers, because 0 and 1 are natural numbers.

We proved that kodak-kun is retarded. QED
