LOL. I feel bad cause the discussion did get far from mathematics...
...the transcendental definition of {e} seems to require that the product of the integers is greater than their sum. Yet set theory tells us that mathematics should be founded on the equality {∑N=∏N}. What if one were is able to take anti-thesis and thesis and find a synthesis,.
Then by 'Keanu Reasoning' above*, this knowledge would be like a power plant. To keep the power would disregard the premise that each individual today relied upon previous communal power plants as the source. These can be metaphorized to 'shoulders of giants.'
To reason against this would be to suggest previous giants were relatively dwarfed. And the debt was actually owed forward. No pressure to sort this out. Religions are concern and their leaders as those dwarfs. Quite a backhand compliment if there was one!
*His movies are in line with this greater thesis being relevant as is most of Hollywood.
