Do things really need to be limited?
#14
RE: Do things really need to be limited?
I think that infinite is not really a number, but rather a failure of the human language, and let me explain.

Anytime the word "infinite" is used to describe something, it's to explain the unexplainable, it's simply a word that's become a placeholder for an inexplicably large number that is beyond our comprehension or that we have failed to define in a reasonable manner. It holds no value anymore. Saying infinite has become just another way of saying "We don't know", because in actuality, there really is no value that is infinite, it is either a number that has exceeded reasonable inquiry, or is a number we cannot be sure of and may have missed a key aspect when identifying it, and could be a much lesser value even in comparison to the incomprehensibly large value that is for all intensive purpose to explain the highest achievable number in any given scenario we call "infinite".
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
