Part 3. “the argument from contradiction” approach dikd historically activate for me. Except I found a way where the operations make sense: I appriciate that it needs to make sense with your current undertstanding level. But argument from lack of imagination is a pretty lousy one. One could say that “x^2 = −1″ is absurd but considering what world would look like if it could be made true can be interesting and useful. By similar logic one could argue that negative numbers are “unreal”. I ended up recogninsing how the standard formulation is transfinite hostile. Instead of whether a reulst is possible or not you end up asking whether the rules are inevitable or not.
