Your concept of cutting up apples reminds me a little of a tale of Eshu, a deity of the ancient African religion of Yoruba, who apparently gobbled up all of creation, the moment it was created, driven by greed, and was then pursued and chopped up into an infinity of pieces by another deity, Orunmila, luckily for us. The lesson we should be learning is that decentralisation is the way to fix the problems of greed. So your concept of the chopping up of the apple actually does have a positive outcome, much as the apple might not like it.

We have to use the concept of infinity a lot, when it comes to Engineering, or anything mathematical, I guess you know that. Thevenin's substitution theorems are used a lot to work out the currents and voltages at various parts in a network, and getting the values correct depends on using infinite voltage and current sources, which don't exist in reality.

My point is that there is no such thing as zero sum, yet we practice an economy as if it is such a thing.

People believe they will experience limitations in all things, because that is their experience to date, but they don't realise those limitations are most often imposed by other humans.

Remove the limits imposed by other humans, and we get to experience many kinds of infinity.

No limits to what anyone can do, no limits to the energy they have available to do it with.

This is the thing I see in most people's minds, even the cleverest of scientists, who came up with the idea of the big bang, we are all products or our limited economic environment, where those limits were set in the first place by humans.

The big bang itself is a story of limits, a need to quantify the universe as if it was somehow finite, and yet we have no proof that any actual limit exists.

That is what I take issue with, our reluctance to accept that the energy of the sun is limitles for all practical purposes, and therefore the issue of money reflecting it has to be limitless.

Understanding, and believing in infinity or not, is a personal choice, which affects the collective.

If we choose not to understand it, then we might try to impose the same limits on others.

Whereas if we are comfortable with it, we won't try to impose limits on what others believe.

Would you agree with that?
