Thank you @whyaskwhy I followed you just now. You make a good argument, but I'm still not convinced that starting from 1 is the best way to do count or do math. I think some parts of mathematics work like

Thanks, I just searched YouTube for "Iran death to America" and this was at the top of the list: TLDR: Apparently they're saying they only hate the American Politicians, but they like the American

Even though we disagree I still see what you're saying. I just don't want to fall into the propaganda trap of believing what my government wants me to believe. I'd like to think there's a peaceful solution

Hmm, yeah you might be right about that translation step. The only other thing I can think of is that 0 + 0 isn't really addition because you're not actually adding anything to anything. Thank you for

You can have as many fingers as you want if you count them this way:

I still don't understand how we can skip 0 for being 0 if we don't count 2 twice. That's a little bit like saying there's a separate rule for 0 than for any other number. Shouldn't there need to be a

Okay, I understand what you're saying. But what I don't get is this, if we don't count 0 because it represents nothing, then why don't we count 2 twice? Why don't we triple-count 3? And if it was arbitrary

Thank you :)

When you start the count from 0 then it takes 3 fingers to count to 2, so you might need that thumb. I think most of the confusion comes from what I called the 'translation' part of it, that's when the

But what about 'thing0'? In order for counting from 0 to work, you need to begin the count at 0, otherwise you're just converting one counting method to the other.

Okay...

It was explained to me once that the reason why they don't just allow all the accounts is because the Steem developers and witnesses are afraid of "Sybil Attacks", which is basically when someone

oh, i'll still be on SteemIt. I'm not leaving, just powering down.

I'm sorry about that. it wasn't making as much as i was spending to keep it going. I really appreciate that you were using it. But it was losing money.

Thank you very much, I find it's always better to treat folks with respect since I never really know if something might be causing an issue for them. And the Cubibot looks like a really nice printer. This

Upvoted & Followed. Thanks for commenting so that I could discover you. Why not post more often? And, sorry if you didn't like my writing style, I guess I do have a tendency to sugar-coat things sometimes.

The trick is to give the pixels their own pixels.

Lol yes, it's still there :)

Hi, I'm sorry about that. Apparently the bot went down. I just now sent you a refund. And I'll make a note in @SocialButterfly's profile that it's down until I can fix it.
