Who is the Norman Wildberger of literature? A total dark-horse who single-handedly reinvents western writing, ground-up.

As people who do not know mathematics may not realize this is b8, I must tell them. This guy is a crank and no one takes what he says on philosophy of mathematics seriously, he's youtube channel is famous mostly because of how ridiculous it is. Mathematicians around the world have him as laughing matter and "Wildberger" is often used as a word to describe a crazy guy saying ridiculous shit about math.
He keeps his job at his university because of the occasional serious paper he publishes (although with his infamy it is kind of surprising he's still working there). Note that you can create publishable research in specific fields of mathematics whilst simultaneosly having a terrible understanding of mathematics as a whole and philosophy of mathematics.

Do you ever wonder why you and others react this way to Wildberger and others like him? You think that if enough people sneer at someone that invalidates their ideas? Wildberger has the courage to confront what he believes is an error in mathematical thinking. Retards such as yourself laugh at this because it assures you that are smart. Have you ever studied the history of mathematics, science, or any human endeavor? There are countless examples of the majority opinion being wrong and the most enlightened minds of the time being ridiculed. Indeed, this does not serve as evidence that any one renegade is correct. It should, however, make you reassess whether you know what you claim to know. If you think that our ideas about infinity are certain, you are kidding yourself. The number of academics being certain of something has no bearing on the truth. They are sheep and frauds like you. You will all continue believing in the things that will signal to other people that you are smart. You don't care about knowledge or even thinking. You wouldn't pursue an academically unpopular thought because you care more about acceptance than substance. Wildberger may be completely "wrong," but at least he questioned what he was told and formulated his own thoughts are much more robust than you and any sneering academics give them credit for. One Wildberger is worth 1000 of your kind.

Wildberger pls
Luke Thompson
No. People like the guy I replied to are a joke. I highly doubt he has participated in the math required to assert the things about Wildberger that he is asserting. He takes things on the credibility of academics and mythmaticians. These people aren't infallible. Don't be a fucking idiot. Or just repeat as you're told by the big smart men because you want to be a big smart man too.

He's hitting at legitimate problems in the foundations of math, but his arguments basically amount to, "and this is just absurd! you can clearly see how absurd this is! absurdity!"
Read Edward Nelson instead who actually tries to develop an ultrafinitist foundations of math
Ian Turner
This is actually correct, and in fact many mathematicians would sympathize with his views
Jace Evans
Wildberger is developing foundations, though. They're just extremely simple and intuitive foundations.

jesus christ just use commas in your sets if if you also selectively use empty space for a multiplier
Gavin Anderson
Top kek, thanks for the pasta.
Daniel Murphy
no; commas are used by people who believe that multiplicity of elements in a set is forbidden. It is better to explicitly remove the comma.
Sebastian Perry
I think people like you are dogmatic. What's so crazy about these man's problem with infinity?
>Wildberger draws inspiration from mathematicians predating Georg Cantor's infinite set-theory, like Gauss and Euclid, who he claims were far more wary of using infinite sets than modern mathematicians
