The set of all rational numbers has zero size in the real numbers. And yet, they’re fucking dense, meaning you can find a rational arbitrarily close to any real number. I mean, what the fuck?

“there are as many even/odd/prime/composite numbers as there are numbers”

  Yeah TREE(3) is so big, how can you possibly know that there are that many evens??
