‎"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life." -Steve Jobs

Quote by Neal Stephenson

Arguing with anonymous strangers on the Internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be—or to be indistinguishable from—self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.

My new favorite quote:

I respect Neal Stephenson's opinion, but he is simply wrong.

Quote by Jimmy Snyder

I respect Neal Stephenson's opinion, but he is simply wrong.

I respectfully disagree. Most arguers on the internet (and I really would go so far to say "almost always") do fit the type he describes, in my opinion.

I sometimes wonder if Jimmy makes notches on his keyboard each time he scores.

On second thought, I have to agree with Jimmy. Being a non-mathematician, I don't believe in infinity.

Wait! What's this? Mathematician's don't either?

Limits to Infinity

* We can't say what happens when x gets to infinity
* But we can see that 1/x is going towards 0

hmmm......

Arguing with anonymous strangers on the Internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be—or to be indistinguishable from—self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing t, where t --> infinity.

hmmm....

Perhaps Neal was just dumbing it down, for people like me.

I don't know who to attribute this one to.

Never argue with a fool. They will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience!

Jeez Louise!

In attempting to find the origin of that quote, I think I've discovered the 16 year old whose free t actually does --> infinity:
