One of the first things children learn is the counting map from finite sets to their cardinalities.

John Baez has more: “To understand this, the following parable may be useful. Long ago, when shepherds wanted to see if two herds of sheep were isomorphic, they would look for an explicit isomorphism. In other words, they would line up both herds and try to match each sheep in one herd with a sheep in the other. But one day, along came a shepherd who invented decategorification. She realized one could take each herd and ‘count’ it, setting up an isomorphism between it and some set of ‘numbers’, which were nonsense words like ‘one, two, three, …’ specially designed for this purpose. By comparing the resulting numbers, she could show that two herds were isomorphic without explicitly establishing an isomorphism! In short, by decategorifying the category of finite sets, the set of natural numbers was invented.”

Depression is like being in an online game where you keep getting killed but you can’t quit unless you shut off the console.

Perhaps the most acclaimed horror films would be held in higher regard if they were left alone as standalone films rather than an endless stream of sequels, spin-offs, & reboots.

If the theory that says there are an infinite number of universes slightly varying from one another is true, than in one of them every single coin that has even been flipped has landed on heads and scientists are baffled as to why
