Why? How would you round off 0.0001?

Ok, but they could be described as zeroish. That's the point, oui monsieur?
May 22, 2022 at 10:22
I like this (a lot). So look here, infinitesimals are zeroish, but not zero! You're geniusish but no, you're not a genius! It's a cheat code in the ga...

I don't see why you should object to what is the official position on Russell's paradox. Russell's set (of all sets that don't contain itself), in col...

Well, paradoxes break math (Bertrand Russell and his set of all sets that don't contain itself) for the reason, I was told, that ex falso quodlibet re...
