Mathematical Attack Vectors
(My older brother is a senior in college and is studying theoretical mathematics and computer science. I’m a freshman in college in a decidedly un-mathematical field.)
Brother: *discussing some theories of mathematics* “…and that’s where the concept of relative infinities comes in.”
Me: “Okay, I really don’t get that. How can something infinite be bigger than something that is also infinite?”
Brother: “I can explain!”
(My brother goes off into an explanation that only confuses me more.)
Me: “Stop! I don’t get it, just stop!”
Brother: “No, this is really interesting!”
Me: “No, really, I’m okay, just stop!” *I start walking away*
Brother: *follows me* “No, just let me tell you the story of the infinite hotel!”
Me: “No!”
(My brother proceeds to follow me in circles around the house trying to tell his story.)
Me: “Moooom! He’s bullying me with math!”
