I've never seen him ask a question to learn something. I don't mean those

Have you signed the contract?

Do you use your brain?

mock questions (even though I can't remember the last time SPP has asked any question, including these "insults").

He thinks that he knows it all yet we never see him trying to acquire new knowledge, or even asking in order to better understand what the person being asked means by their statements.

It's a pretty clear sign of his intellectual arrogance, narcissism and the Dunning Kruger Effect.

The 0.999... you talk about is not the actual 0.999... we talk about. Your 0.999... terminates, as implied by your statement from a recent post:

>where the pre-requisite number of nines that begins to qualify 0.999...9 is the largest number you can or cannot generate with your brain

The actual 0.999... is non-terminating - that means it has infinite amount of nines after the decimal point, not just "the largest number you can think of".

It never, at any point in time, has a finite number of nines. Example:

Let's say someone's brain can only generate a number that's no more than 10^1000. Does that start to qualify as 0.999...? No, it does not, because the number 10^1000 is finite.

Let's say someone's brain can only generate a number that's no more than 10^(10^1000). Does that start to qualify as 0.999...? No, it does not, because the number 10^(10^1000) is finite.

I hope you see the pattern.

Doesn't matter which integer you plug in as n , since an integer that would give you the actual 0.999... doesn't exist.

Note that it is very important to understand that infinity is not an integer. Remeber that bud.

Also, you correctly say that 0.999... = 0.9 + 0.09 + 0.009 ..., yet you incorrectly conclude that it does not equal to 1.

As you don't seem to know, an infinite summation is equal to the limit of the sequence of it's partial sums, but there is no point in teaching you this because you don't even understand limits.

I'm curious about y'all's opinions on this - is the 0.999... SPP (and maybe some others) talks about the same as the 0.999... we talk about?

Edit: Sorry for the broken formatting.

I'm not from Australia or America, so I don't know how calculus 1 is called in other countries, but it's the subject where you learn about sequences, functions, derivations, integrals, a little bit of set theory, ... and most importantly, limits .

SPP has obviously been sleeping throughout all his lectures of calc 1. It makes him the last person that should teach anyone anything about the real numbers (which is the set of numbers we use when we talk about 0.999... ), yet alone infinitesimals.

SPP is a delusional liar that does not understand the subject he talks about, which makes him inadequate to be a person to listen to. He makes rookie errors aka dumb mistakes that even a first year uni student would point out and would teach SPP a lesson.

SPP, bud, go back and learn at the bunny slopes before you spit out nonsense, you'd do all of us a favour.

Sorry for the rant y'all, as I've said in my last post, SPP's arrogance and limited mind makes my blood boil.

Have a nice day.

Posting like this because SPP - again, cowardly - locked the comment.

SPP, is there anyone in this sub that genuinely thinks you are right with any of your "proof"?

Is there anyone you know of who's seen your statements and went "Oh, this guy is right!" ?

If so, can you name them?

 

>I don't need to 'come up with' anything new

You should, all of you statements have been proved wrong like million times. At this point it's just your limited mind that's holding you back from getting unstuck from your naive idea of you "teaching" us.

 

>when I have nailed your 'issue'

Oh bud, I'm not the one with 'issues'. You seem to be wildly obsessed with spitting out some made up nonsense left to right just to flatly refuse to have a fair discussion when someone points out your mistakes aka rookie errors aka blunders.

Do you genuinely not see the problem with your way of interacting with this community?

Sorry to y'all for the rant, sometimes SPP really makes my blood boil. Have a nice day.
