Math_Enthusiast

I am just here to have fun debating. I am especially interested in mathematics and philosophy, (and the philosophy of mathematics!) but I may debate other topics such as science and education. I know high-school and undergraduate mathematics very well, am currently taking graduate courses, and know the 0.99999... debate like the back of my hand, so if you claim that 0.99999... is not equal to 1, I will happily accept the challenge. My current life philosophy is described by these tenets:

1. Suffering is that which one is inclined to avoid. It is subjective, and varies based on a person's preferences and attitude.
2. By embracing suffering and accepting it as a challenge, we eliminate suffering.
3. Meaning is subjective and not inherent, but by rebelling against the meaningless suffering of our lives, we create our own meaning.
4. Every situation is just another opportunity. We should not dwell on past mistakes, but rather consider them a part of the challenge, opportunity, and meaning of our current situation.
5. We cannot always succeed, so we must instead accept that the reason we try, even in the most dire situations, is not for the sake of success, but for the sake of the attempt itself.

If you are interested in discussing it or debating it, it now has a forum topic dedicated to it: https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/10168-how-to-live-a-happy-life-in-118-words
