Census Odd or Even numbers?

There is no option for "Even, but also 5s." This poll does not represent my interests.

Amazing.

 

Depends on who you ask, honestly. It's hardly a closed question, which is what you seemed to be originally implying. "Falsification," incidentally, is a pretty terrible basis upon which to mount a pro-fictionalism argument, since asserting that falsifiability imparts knowledge of the ontological carries with it an implicit assumption that there's a kind of Platonic status for truth arguments - if there's a Platonic status for truth arguments, though, you're going to have a hard time convincing someone that "truth is real but math isn't" is a tenable position.

Again, open question. I tend not to believe there's such a thing as a "truly" internally consistent system of thought so it's not really a question I worry about. You seem to be kind of trying to get me to concede that I hold mathematics in an unjustified position of ontological privilege, but I don't really think I do.

Edit: Perhaps I should clarify my position - I wasn't lolling at your belief that math don't real, that's a perfectly valid position albeit one I'm pretty hesitant to tie my proverbial horse to - I was lolling at your rationale because you were literally doing the cliché internet atheist argument but for numbers.

 

Correct. The poll has nothing to do with lesbian porn, balloon animals or Arthur Scargill.

 

Seldom have the problems with democracy been summarized so succinctly.

Amazing.

 

Even numbers have a subconsciously comforting feeling.

 

Could a number have awareness?

 

no, and people don't either.

 

It could if people would wear the ribbons and it had a month of its own.

Amazing.

 

even numbers are horrifying.

 

Even

 

0 is definitely even. i mean 0,1,2,3.... even, odd, even, odd. DONE AND DONE

 

Thanks, Professor.

 

Even. He's such a cool cat.

 

Zero is just zero it's neither odd or even. It's zero.

Anyway, my answer is odd.

 

It's not that odd. A little queer, maybe.

 

let's just say it's more even than odd. like, 10 is even and that ends in zero. zero definitely has more even like tendancies in life i would say. it has a certain zero like charisma

 

But ten is not zero; ten is even; zero is zero. I will give you that numbers ending in zero are even, yes, so what you said about zero having "more even-like tendencies", is a true statement, but zero itself is neither odd or even; it's zero.

 

Even is explicitly defined as any integer that can be expressed as 2k for integral k; k = 0 satisfies this condition. That zero is neither odd nor even is a mathematical myth, perpetuated mostly by the fact that nobody these days cares much about pure integer arithmetic unless it involves prime numbers.

 

Shut up, Ramza.

 

Odd, and I'll murder anyone that disagrees with me.

 

So far you have 17 people to murder. At least it's an odd number, eh!

 

Zero is even, harps.

An even number is any number that is integrally divisible by 2, that is, a number divided by two that will give you a whole integer.

0/2 is 0. 0 is an integer. 0 is even.

 

Shut up, Sean.
