One Was The Biggest Mistake

I understand how we arrived at the idea of 1. It was the dawn of counting. Extremely important for the development of society. But I had a revelation (completely unprovable). Math's reliance on the concept of 1 is flawed. If we approach problems from that perspective we may find some very interesting truths.

actually zero was the breakthrough

Zero is the parent of one, 1 was a breakthrough in and of itself. Pretty sure other species understand the concept of one.

You're conflating two different things. Math is literally the only hard science that isn't political, but that's only because it literally can't be politicized.

It's the language of the universe, as best as we can translate it

LOL It has been politicized. It is considered racist. Advanced math instruction has been almost removed completely Virginia. Along the west coast, the entire concept that there is only one correct answer is being thrown out the window. I am serious.

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. Two can be as bad as one. It's the loneliest number since the number one

Was fucking wasted. Don't remember this post. I think the idea was that everybody thinks of 1 as base 10
