This is becoming extremely long. I shall try to be brief.
Of course I want to know why there are biases such as confirmation bias. (I am aware of some possible explanations, but so far as I know all anyone has is plausible conjectures.) I have seen no evidence that you have any accurate information about that.
There are more numbers than words. There are even more integers than words. There aren’t more integers than descriptions of integers using words. Whether there are more things than words depends on all sorts of difficult scientific questions and perhaps also on exactly what your definition of “thing” is.
I remain unconvinced by your panegyrics about universal love.
“I have spoken to tens of thousands of people from all over the world, and they all said so as kids!”: then I suggest that you have very strange priorities in what you discuss with them. (Actually, and I hope you aren’t offended, I strongly suspect that you are lying or mistaken about this.)
“Being in-Love with all words gives us the insight and intuition to know without having any specific info!”: ciphergoth was definitely right: you are either entirely unready for, or totally out of sympathy with the aims of, LW, and it is very unlikely that you will either get much benefit from being here or do much good to anyone else here.
“Specific example: [...]” You have misunderstood what I was saying, and that is not an example of anything to do with what I was saying.
“the brain cannot think without words: music is a word”: No. I think you are fond of making confident statements about things you do not understand.
We love or hate because we have been taught to.
Did you, as a child, ever hear statements beginning or ending with: …‘Whether you life it or not’...?
Can you remember if it was about you eating what foods you hated?
Integers, which are infinite, are also all words.
So compared to integers, words are equal in number to integers:
-infinity/minus infinity to 0/zero and 0 to positive infinity are all integers which are also all words: 8 is eight.
Therefore, since there are non-numeral words, the infinite set of words is greater than the infinite set of numbers/integers.
qed.
PS: Since by definition, infinities must be equal, there is way to equalize the larger infinity of words with the smaller infinity of integers. It’s so simple that it will tend to escape readers who have not yet overcome bias against fools and foolishness, since the simplicity looks foolish and simpleminded.
It wd be strange to anyone who still has not yet overcome bias for me to talk to people about overcoming their self-hatred by reminding them about what they said as kids.
“Love to Richard Is a strange brooch in this all-hating world.”Richard II, [V, 5]
And there have been tens of thousands, if not more! By the way, a mistake is a lie in words. The real lie would be me saying ‘I love you’ and implying I love you all the way while hating liars.
If I misunderstood you, would you please say what else you meant?
I could be poor in understanding OR you could be poor in communicating. smile
Please do not let my confidence about anything now intimidate you to the point that you don’t ask questions. You have asked questions. Please do not stop now. People who have not yet overcome the bias against being ignorant or fools can’t ask because they don’t want to admit that they don’t know. If you don’t understand, would you please ask more questions? I love myself as a fool and so love and respect you as one. The first thing a wise man knows is that he is a fool. And I am sure you are wise!smile It could be that I am a poor communicator or that you have poor understanding.smile

You do not understand the relevant area of mathematics.
You may rest assured that it will not. However, there are other factors that lead me not to ask you any further questions.
I don’t think this discussion is achieving anything worth while. Farewell.
You need to do more reading of the archives here and on Overcoming Bias before you try commenting here.
Honestly, I’m not sure that that would help.
