Real numbers exist, that is why they call them real numbers. It is the imaginary numbers you should be having sleepless nights thinking about!

[/ QUOTE ]

Numbers are only ideas that us humans have come up to count things. They are not tangible, its just that we are born and it is one of the first things we learn so we just accept it blindly.

Oh boy, do you need some philosophy.

Philosophy doesn't give us anything. It reminds us of what we don't know.

That's where you and I are going to differ.

Can't we just agree that stating it one way implies the other?

Probably not.

At one point several years ago I thought philosophy lead to absolute truth; I do not disbelieve in this but I no longer believe in it. I think it accurate to say western philosophy at least gives you a way to analyaze "things" and topics, and that the history of philosphy shows that nobody has ever demonstrated anything: philosophy and, a fortiori, serious politcal discourse is simply sages talking endlessly

Philosophy is much more than the, "What does it all mean?" that most people think of it as. It is actually the study of logic. It teaches you how to approach problems, how to ask the right questions, etc. etc.

Being able to apply philosophy should serve you well in business, family, and all of life.
