Five million man: proofs of key problems

It can be argued. Look: the Riemann Hypothesis could have no proof at all, even if it is valid. So, one can look for other, unusual ways of proving.

No, it is not subject to argumentation. You need, in order to have a proof, to show that the 'allowed' situation does actually happen.

Again, that is basic logic. And you failed in that. And, it seems, you don't even understand that it is necessary. Which means you need to go back and learn some basic logic.

Yes, the RH may be independent (have no proof either way). At which point other considerations come into play.

But what you have isn't a proof at all. It isn't just *unusual*, it is fundamentally flawed.

"We" means more than one person. You don't think we can empirically show more than one person?

I want you to show that the agreement of 2 or more humans to subjectively set a goal make the "we set a goal" for the "we" as being objective.

Note - we are playing if the world can be reduced down to being only objective in the end. I know, it can't, because we are subjectively disagreeing. If the world in the strong sense was only objective, then we couldn't disagree.

The goal remains subjectively set. Again, this isn't in dispute. If you don't care about helping others or not harming others, I don't know of any "objective" way to make you care. However, most of us do care, and recognize that caring is in our interest and the interest of people we care about. The fact that we agree on the subjective goal can be measured objectively, by asking you and asking me what our goal is.

Once the goal is agreed upon, we can objectively measure how to achieve the goal.

I mean following: the mathematics is consistent with the thesis ``situation is allowed'', however that drives us to the described contradiction; thus, to avoid such contradiction, we must accept the validity of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Okay, so we can't objectively set the goal. That is my point. That is one way to understand a part of this:

No, the logic there is wrong. The situation is 'allowed' only in the sense it hasn't been shown not to occur. That is very different then showing it would occur if the RH was false. But it is the latter that is required to have a proof.

Such science will not be conducted in the afterlife I tell you. No.

Well, if you can only tell me that then it is subjective and I subjectively believe differently. So just walk away. I am a skeptic and I am "good" at subjective versus objectivity. Now if you can show me objective evidence or proof, I will listen.

It can be argued. Therefore, if published, the Math Community will become divided into two camps: ones with me and ones with you. It is like Putin and Trump.

No, that isn't how it works. The logic is wrong. There won't be a division because any trained mathematician can easily tell you failed in your logic.

Once again, if a student submitted this in a beginning proof class, I would assign a failing grade and require them to do it over until they get the logic right. Anything above that level and it would be a failure in the course almost automatically.

If you would be my mother, you would not say that. You would be proud of my talent. I repeat it is like Putin and Trump: no common ground.

Yes, you've posted that about a million times. I believe I also replied literally in the thread you made with it in the OP. The moral goal is set subjectively, and measured objectively.

Good, then stop claiming a "we" that is not there. For the purpose of your "we" I am one of "them", because I am a high functioning autist. And yes, IFF you are functionally a normie, then you won't notice, how normies harm those, who are neuro-diverse. I don't know if you are a normie, but you use a "we" like all other limited social groups, whether it be culture/sub-culture/ideology/philosophy and even science.

So in short, when you subjectively go "we", I go "them". Now that is a fact, which you can observe using science. So yes, I am a social warrior and I fight the privilege in the "we".

Science not only follows evidence, the
Science uses emotions and moral, because there is even toilet paper use in CERN.
Science is moral, alternative is immorality.

No, another behavior than yours is just that - another behavior. You are not unique in that you in the end claim Objective Authority to judge your own and other humans different behavior.
