    Grothendieck’s Prime tripped me up in a maths competition in high school. i had manually stored a list of primes in my calculator, and one of the puzzles involved primes and deducing the combination to a lock from certain clues. my list of primes erroneously included 57, which almost made my team fail the level, until i realized my error.




  • that’s a lot of words. allow me to summarize your argument, and please correct me if i’ve misunderstood.

    A. humans are rational creatures
    B. rational creatures make rational choices, unless influenced by madness or sexual preference
    C. being otherkin is a choice D. choosing to be otherkin is an irrational choice E. otherkin are not mad ∴ otherkin choose to be otherkin due to a sexual preference

    your conclusion does seem to follow logically from your premises, though I don’t think i agree with the truth of most of those premises.
