In the end how i see it, is that you never really cant change someones mind/opinions in a conversation. If, i must add, we are not talking about something concrete,i.e.
is sun shining,
look THIS calculation your calculation is wrong, if we build the bridge your way it would collapse,
who win/won yesterday.
Those are simple truths (??)
Right, now 1.
If we stay in the field of pure mathematics You can make a definition of one, wich sort of makes sense.
1 (or 5), is a member of a class wich contains only 1 (or 5), member/object/whatever, or something (i stand corrected).
But if You have 5 dollars(lets say), Your 5, is more, than mere mathematical symbol in the series begining from 1.
See my point here ?
Yes , if we settle our differences about the values (1 dollar-1 euro, 1 gallon-1 litre) what we are doing there then is defining the contents or, heh, if You will, the inner life, of one.
We are talking about dollars and euros.
Nothing else.
Not about one.
1, it seems to me, is like a car,
you can drive it,
you can clean it,
hell,
you can even repair it.
But to build one ? |
