Crowded by Infinity

[Boojatta]

Suppose that you have selected an infinite cardinality. Perhaps you ask, "Cardinality of what?" Be patient. Let's just suppose that it is an infinite cardinality, and that it is relatively small compared to some of the choices that were available to you when you made your selection. Nevertheless, no matter how small it may be, it is strictly greater than the number two. We are of course talking about whole numbers here, so it follows that the infinite cardinality you selected is at least three.

Actually, it turns out that it is also strictly greater than the number three. However, we want to leave some surprises for later, and I didn't put a disclaimer in the title about spoilers in this thread, so it's time to cut short this tangential discussion.

Now, it is generally accepted that three is a crowd. If you entered this thread because you were curious about the meaning of the title, then your curiosity should now be satisfied.

1. Probably hardly anyone thinks first of hinges, but

the origin of the word cardinal is a latin word that means hinge. The cardinals of the Catholic Church are its 'hinges.' The birds are named after them. Now I ask you, have you oiled your cardinality today?

2. Where do you presume to know what Cardinality someone selects.

Or the bounds, effects, or limitations of such a thing?

By your postulation your comment can only come from something you chose, and therefor would be within the limit of your experience.

So how can you judge another?

You use a claim about what is 'generally accepted' however many people have their preconceived notions shown wrong all the time.

So by even applying what is generally accepted thoughts to someone else, negates the possibility they may have experiences that shows them something else in a different way.
