"having a problem is not a problem" #695

Open silky opened 1 year ago

silky commented 1 year ago

because if having a problem was a problem then we'd all have infinite problems.

@silky this is interesting, if we follow your initial hypothesis that "If I have a problem, then I have infinite problems", then how can I have infinite problems, when your problem isn't my problem?

Do these sets of infinite problems not intersect?

i'm supposing that people have at least one problem

but i suppose it's possible that there is at least one person out there without a problem

then, i suppose, not having a problem isn't a problem and having a problem isn't a problem

interestingly, we can conclude .... something something law of excluded middle ... 😅
