  • Because Americans have so goddam many terms for similar things. Single payer, universal, public, public insurance, private insurance, community based, employer paid. The current system is called “Mixed non-universal”. So I used a description instead. And you knew what I meant.
    BTW how many languages do you speak? It’s pretty low to criticize minor mistakes by someone writing in a 2nd language.
    I write better American than many Americans!!!

    You wouldn’t need infinite time if you had infinite monkeys.

    Obviously, but as I wrote BOTH are impossible, so it’s irrelevant. I just didn’t think I’d have to explain WHY infinite monkeys is impossible, while some might think the universe is infinite also in time, which it is not.

    I also already wrote that if you have an infinite string everything is contained in it.
    But even with infinite moneys it’s not instant, because technically each monkey needs to finish a page.

    But I understand what you mean, and that’s exactly why the theorem is so stupid IMO. You could also have 1 monkey infinite time.
    But both are still impossible.

    When I say it’s stupid, I don’t mean as a thought experiment which is the purpose of it. The stupid part is when people think they can use it as an analogy or example to describe something

    Infinite monkeys and infinite time is equally stupid, because obviously you can’t have either, for the simple reason that the universe is finite.
    And apart from that, it’s stupid because if you use an infinite random, EVERYTHING is contained in it!

    I’m sorry it just annoys the hell out of me, because it’s a thought experiment, and it’s stupid to use this as an analogy or example to describe anything in the real world.
