like a real one and not just bachelors opinions?

He can do whatever he wants and people can have interest in it. It's disingenuous to profess unto youth masses a distrust in modern math in favor of discovering alternatives that may not even exist. No consistent math is bad math, his attitude however is not a good one.

First tell me what Wildberger is actually arguing

Why would I have to make an arguement against it? He has a set of axioms that define numbers an operations a certain way, okay great, good for him, let him work on that see where it goes. There are a bunch of other sets of axioms that lead to different definitions of numbers, Knuth has a set that leads to Surreal numbers, there are Lie algebras and random shit all over, whatever, it's all good. Mathematics is all encompassing, if he wants to work without infinite sets that is okay, but doesn't change any work in other areas.

...

I think the only thing that we can do is to accept the fact that there are some problem with our R and that it's impossible to solve it.

For instance the representation of an infinitely long, arbitrary number a is simply not possible (at least with our way of writing numbers) because there are simply an infinite amount of information that we need to put to represent it.

My philosophy in this is the same with infinity. What is an infinity? It's the largest number that I can think of.

So how do I write a = 0.193829482395283758235.......?? I write is as long as I need it to be. I may never be able to write the whole a, but I can take the approximation of it to whatever degree I need it.

This.

Conway invented surreals reeeeeee

First post best. Really, that's just perfect.
