Equality vs Equivalence

Equality is a myth. A platonic ideal. It has no definition and no rubric for proof. In math there is an attempt to sometimes define a = a but the proof is often axiomatic, or self-evident. Equality is an idea that comes from God. We inherently know it but we cannot define it.

Equivalence is what man created to define, verify, and scale our idea of equality. Equivalence is clearly defined as a general relationship that possesses each of the following properties:

a) reflexive: an item is “related” to itself

b) symmetric: if a is related to b then b is related to a

c) transitive: if a is related to b, and b is related to c then: a is related to c

Reflexive, Symmetric, and Transitive

That’s the best human beings can do to define, explain, and prove equivalence.

With equivalence we can work off of a common truth. We can build a consensus and we can share a reality.

Equality is absolute without being verifiable. It’s a shared tyrannical illusion. It can exist ONLY in the abstract and has extremely limited meaning and application.

Why should we and our children learn mathematics? It’s not to calculate tips at a restaurant or to get a job as a bean counter.

It’s to understand the difference between equivalence and equality and be resilient to the Platonic psy-ops that have caused the majority of human atrocities.

It’s to be sovereign.
