"3) You say that you're making a claim about numbers specifically and ideas generally. I take that to mean you think numbers are ideas. If that's correct then surely you can't say "There is no smallest positive number." Because at any given time if numbers are ideas then there is indeed the smallest number residing within sombody's mind. Yes somebody else might conceive of a smaller one but then that would be the new smallest number. So in order to claim that "there is no smallest number" you are committed to the Platonic position right (i.e. that numbers are mind-independent abstract obects)"

"If you observe the social patterns Roger is the OG "anti-vaxxer" of Bitcoin. The narrative was established years ago that no matter the differences among Bitcoiners they could all agree to laugh at Roger. Whatever problems Bitcoin has they are never so severe to justify taking Roger seriously. This is the same social pattern we saw with anti-vaxxers. They were assigned to be at the bottom of the totem poll. Make whatever criticisms you want about the scientific establishment but we could all agree the anti-vaxxers are the ones to laugh at and never take seriously. There's a reason for that."
