Benign, exactly. I wrote that earlier. We don’t actually relate to infinity, although we have no philosophical rebuttal of the existance of this concept. The finite has no relationship with in the infinite by definition. A circle can not be made of small lines, because it would take an infinite amount of small lines, hence the irrational number for that relationship.
There are a lot of mathematical gimicks, riddles and paradoxes based on the misunderstanding, or the non-existant relationship, of infinity. You can’t get there and you can’t come from there.
Now, being infinite doesn’t mean there are no parts, it means there are an infinite number of parts. Our perception of space is that it is infinite, yet no one suggested that we don’t exist in it.
When discussing infinity you have to keep in mind that the lingering problem is that we don’t relate to it. Realize when the argument hit that problem, and stop there. Very often people think up different arguments about this, which really amount to the same problem.
You can’t separate or subtract a part of something infinite, but you can find a part of it and discuss that finite part.
Think about this before saying it’s wrong and repeating my words back to me.
