  • No you can have numbers past infinity op is wrong.

    As for how to order past the first infinity it's easy.

    Of course first you have 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < ... Then you take a new number not equal to any of the others let's call it omega. Define omega to be larger than the others. So 1 < omega, 2 < omega,...

    This you can of course continue even further by introducing omega + 1 which is larger than omega and therefore larger than all natural numbers.

    You can continue this even further by introducing a new number let's call it lambda that is bigger than all omega + x where x is a natural number.

    This can be continued forever i.e. an infinite amount of times.

    Edit: that is meant by ordinal number as you define a unique order each step.

    The problem is that the concept of cardinality and ordinality is the same in the finite case. That is numbers that tell you how many things there are can also be used to sort them.

    This does not work past the first infinity. If you add omega to the natural numbers then the amount of numbers you have is still the first infinity.

    But there are bigger cardinal infinities than the first one. For example the cardinality of the real numbers. I.e. There are more real numbers than natural numbers.

  • No cardinal and ordinal numbers continue past the "first" infinity in modern math. I.e. The cardinal number denoting the cardinality of the natural numbers (aleph_0) is smaller than the one of the reals.

    Edit: In modern systems aleph_0 = omega btw. Omega denotes ordinal and aleph denotes cardinals.

  • Because Humor can be coping mechanism also for stuff there are not involved with. Some people need to laugh at tragedy.

    Edit: you are saying "not your pain" as if empathy does not exist. We sometimes need to distance ourselves from tragedy and some do this with humor.

  • You should try discussing instead of resorting to ad hominem attacks.

    Frankly you never stated how the behavior of Islam (that is also a monotheistic religion that denies all other gods) fits with the idea that antitheism is colonial white people stuff.

  • No they don't claim antitheism is colonial white people stuff.

    First your own cited sources contradict you: you said that ancient Christians believed also in other gods but ancient Judaism was before that. Also in those sources you find that this happend in ancient Israel.

    I don't think the people there would be described as white.
