If numbers or math are a wild hallucination...they are a wild hallucination shared by every human being down to every last detail. There's probably a simpler word for that eh?
Ever hear of Dyslexia? Right off the bat you are wrong. Why is it that every kid does not score a perfect 100 on their math? Do your kids?
Hmmm right down to the last detail....
I know you are a rational person, but this is delusional. Numbers/math is shared by every human down to the last detail?
Care to prove this?
Care to "prove" that 1+1=3 for somebody somewhere? Any given persons score on a math test has absolutely no bearing over whether or not math is different, that's a measurement of an individual's aptitude and memory with regards to a system.
Again, I can accept the entirety of our experience as an illusion (go as many levels down as you like)...including math and numbers. Nonetheless, our illusory civilization (made up of illusory beings) has made an illusory agreement on illusory concepts (themselves illusory) that have the illusion of concordance between themselves and the rest of the collective illusion,......and we call that math.
What does an argument for solipsism add to our understanding of these concepts? Entirely nothing (unless you count misplaced platitudes).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
