What is the Hivemind?

[Terath Ninir]

Ahh oh seeker of knowledge, but learning that it works and applying that knowledge to delve into the secrets of the universe are two totally different things. One must go beyond the known and into the unknown, before the truth of life, the universe and everything is revealed. And by counting, you may come up with the answer of oh... Say 42.

Ah, you confuse me for a seeker of knowledge, when in fact I possess that knowledge. I can prove that counting works and that addition works, which means I can also prove subtraction, multiplication, and division as trivial roots.

Most importantly, by changing a few postulates, I can prove that 6 times 9 IS 42.

Never argue with Cyberzombie. If Cyberzombie isn't right, he'll change the definition of "Right."

Exactly! That's the neat thing about being trained in mathematics. You don't like the results you get, just change the postulates you're using.

The scary part is how often such mind games lead to something actually *useful*.

Well, not when Cyberzombie does it.

Any examples?

You're just jealous. All you have is massive postcount, while I get to define reality.

You aren't the only one with a srong background in math. But a discussion is not a math problem, a debate is not a problem to be solved or redefined.

Doesn't that depend on the debate?

His power isn't just limited to math, though.

Cyberzombie could make:
Crothian's Postcount = 0
as the definition of your postcount... but, then again, so could MM. I guess they both can define reality.
