Numbers are universal (a slightly philosophical/ mathematical post)

A long, long time ago I was met with an argument that 'numbers are redundant'. This argument was sloppily thrown into my face and so many things entered my mind to say back to this ridiculous notion that my head felt like it was about to explode. However, it's incredibly stupid to have an argument based on pure, personal logic because, let's face it, that will most likely go on a repetitive loop which will leave both sides unable to say anything appropriate but still too stubborn to desist.

Then, I discovered Pythagoras (Greek philosopher/ Bad ass mathematician). I mean, I've always seen him as that guy who made that theorem that we all have to use and have grown to have a love/hate relationship with.

So, Pythagoras was this pre-Socratic philosopher who believed there MUST be one underlying element that could constitute EVERYTHING. And he was right (sort of). Numbers are universal and unchangable. Though I guess we can't really calculate and transcribe numerical data into our every move (it's not completely impossible... just time consuming), numbers seem to be quite important. Just a thought.

You hear that person who called numbers redundant? YEAH!

I just realised how I can never conclude any of my thoughts clearly. I suck.
