The "numerology" of the ancients led to Euclid , Pythagoras , the Golden Ratio and others .
No. The numbers came first. For counting bushels of wheat and casks of beer.
Later people starting playing silly games with them.
Which , is precisely what I said. Notice how I did not take "numbers" all the way back to the beginning ? No comment on the statement that is where certain "advanced" mathematics started ? Noticing that numbers were relevant to the world around them . Not just for counting at the point in time .
Pythagoras didnt pull the math behind Hypotenuse and Cathetus (sp? , I am doing this from memory) out his rear. They ideas came from his observance of nature.
And again , I do not fully believe in numerology .Only in its relation to the history of advanced math . But , and there is always one in the group , there is something to be said in defense.
False. Math began as a tool to keep track of trade and stuff.
Math began as a creative art.
Yeah. Try getting creative on your tax return.
In fact it still is a creative art.
Why was the "sacrifice" in the US, and not overseas? Why wouldn't it be done there instead?
Why would the sacrifice even be a public thing? Would they not want to be more clandestine in their efforts? Is there a bigger effect doing it in such a public way?
I fail to see the connection between slaughter in a gay night club, and BREXIT. The two don't seem related in any logical way to me.

It's a fact that without language we cannot have numbers, FACT.
