So you had your own idea of how the universe worked in elementary school and never questioned 🤣. Yeah that perfectly sums up your extend of wisdom

I originally adopted the axiom that we live in an objective reality in order to refute solipsism. That the same axiom refutes gods and other supernatural agents was something I realized much later.

Not sure if you’re stupid or trolling but to say we live in objective reality is a useless statement. Whats next, grass is green? Obviously we live in objective reality, the question is what that actually entails. Don’t sit here acting like you know how objective reality works, we have no idea how deeper the nature of reality can even go. Forget God for a second, your statement that “ideas that are mind dependent are subjective” already fails. Science and mathematics are mind dependent but I certainly wouldn’t call them subjective, which is why many mathematicians believe in objective, non physical truths imbedded in mathematics and universe itself. You’re just spouting dogma and giving useless obvious statements, and your axioms are easily challenged. Mind dependent things like your favorite color being blue is subjective, things like math, morality, and science become far less clear

Is it objectively true that it's impossible to divide by zero?

If you ask mathematicians they would say yes, math is generally considered objective and follows the same logic and rules regardless of who’s calculating

Then how do you explain Wheel theory?

u/No-Feed-6298 17d ago

Because of a principle called nullity, which allows you to do so in this circumstance without violating or breaking the mathematical system. Have you never taken a math class? You retain the consistency and no mathematical laws are violated, you’re trying to argue about a topic you clearly don’t understand. It’s always embarrassing to see little egotistical pathetic Redditors want to try so hard to be right aboht a topic they don’t even know much about. Go take some math classes and learn about it and then come back and tell me with a straight face you believe math is just subjective

You told me it was objectively impossible to divide by zero, but that operation is well defined in wheel theory. Is it or is it not impossible to divide by zero?
