I don't know what he's getting at but the bitterness is fun

He seems to be pretty hostile to Dirac sampling. It looks like he's playing Xeno's paradox and getting surprised that infinities fit inside other infinities? I don't know what his deal is.

here is a sample of his response to a comment: "I don't take kindly to people telling me that I get confused. Fuck off and don't comment again."

another: "Infinity is an altogether junk concept and Zermelo was an idiot."

@previous (boof)
Admittedly, that's an appropriate response to a lot of YouTube comments. But yeah, the guy is a little odd.

Like the weird thing is that he's working with rational numbers and trying to fit them into the real number set. Like he's never heard of countable and uncountable infinities. He doesn't need a check from YouTube. He should get a big Cantor's diagonal slash.
