As forAleph-null, that's a
mathematico-logical fantasy that was brought into existence
by giving a name to a made-up abstraction, and then using
a set of artificial, logical manipulations on the name as proof of
its existence. It's a stunt Western philosophers have been using
for centuries to confuse the gullible. I'm surprised
an intelligent man of science, like you, fell for it, Cecil.

Guess what? EVERY SINGLE LAST BIT of mathematics
is "made up abstraction". All mathematics, *all of it, is an
abstraction! You have a problem with abstraction?
Then what do you suggest be used in it's place?
You claim that "Western philosophers" have made it
up just to "confuse the gullible". So then what
alternative philosophy do you suggest should be
use that does _not_ confuse the gullible? If you cannot
provide it and prove that it indeed has more merit than
the already-existent philosophies then why bother
with it?
