> In other words attempting to subtract one from infinity by removing from the front results in infinity.
And I regret to inform you that if you read more carefully, you will find that my comment above makes use of that very same property of infinity. Not only do I already know it; that's the joke.
Specifically, that statements about omega are also statements about 1 + omega. The parent post saying "I think that infinity must be even" is such a statement. Regardless of if it's true or not, well-defined or not, coherent or not, it's equally all that about (infinity - 1).
Should I also spell out that an argument that "n - 1 is even" is also an argument that "n is odd" ?
