It comes down to what definition you use for natural numbers i think. Slide posted earlier with the Peano postulates. There are other ways of defining the natural numbers, so I suppose the 'proof' is determined by said methods.

^talking about definition of numbers...

"Pork roll for sale! pork roll for sale! $99.65, no discount, approved customers only.
P.S. My UAI is worth as much as this pork roll..."

doesn't this depend on how much each mark of the UAI is worth in cents?

hopefully not too much... cause i was hoping to buy that pork roll off you for $99.65; deal? :)

Haha, good point there. Alhough I didn't specify what type of worth. So my uai and pork roll could have the same amount of 'moral worthiness', if that makes sense.

Oh, I don't see why anyone would want to buy my pork roll for almost a hundred bucks when you could find one (much much fresher I might add) for about $2.
