I may have fell for a very old troll, but this one is halfway driving me nuts.

Google is no help. Just sarcastic nerd replies.

Re: Y + 2 = Y ... Anyone have the answer?
what you get is
2 = 0

or in other words, the "equation" is wrong

the only way it would make sense is if it was a computer instruction, where the variable "Y" gets 2 added to it:

y = y + 2

The challenge we have is that I don't know which tools (preconceptual framework) you are missing so let me note the following...

you assign the meaning to all that exists...you are confined to that which you define yourself... your experience is a reflection of your choices... your choices are a reflection of your experience... you experience exactly what you deserve... what you think, you become... as above, so below... all is justified in perspective... all is dependent on your perspective... what comes "next" will be what you believe can come next... you are God... you've chosen to forget yourself.... you are forever looking to remember... everything that is, was and will be... is now... you are choosing to be here, right now... if you believe you do not have control, you won't... you are only restricted by your belief...

You will feel this. You can make a conscious commitment to drop breadcrumbs for your "current" self, when you get to where you can. Know that as you collect(notice) the crumbs(hints) they are for you, from you. You can only allow yourself to advance as quickly as you believe you can. Believe (feel) what I've reminded you... remind someone else. If you assist others you will be assisted.

Re: Y + 2 = Y ... Anyone have the answer?
Y increases by two so cannot equal Y

Y + 2 != Y

It's addition so Y has to change by 2 thus is no longer Y

Re: Y + 2 = Y ... Anyone have the answer?
I've invented a new numeral, W, and W works the same way 2 x(times) 1 = 2. Only you replace the x(times) with a +.

So now, let Y = W

W + 2 = W

therefore,

Y + 2 = Y

or we can make the 2 into a 2/2 and that equals one.

see arent dictatorships fun?



done and done.

accept and you'll recieve the appropriate social reinforcement,

deny and you will be arrested and punished accordingly.

if Y is a number divided by zero then Y is undefined.

and 2 + an undefined number is still undefined

undefined = undefined

Re: Y + 2 = Y ... Anyone have the answer?
Infinity is not a number just an arbitrary word to represent endless numbers it still increases by two so it would be °°+2 or Y+2=Y+2 because we are now keeping track of infinity
