You don't know anything about algebra. Nothing, nada, zilch, absolutely none is what you know. Ok, now that I got that obligatory math teacher berating out of my system, let me backtrack a bit and let you in on one of my big pet peeves. Like the boring goofball I am, I like to peruse the various math related internets. Most of what I find is enlightening, fun (to me at least), or at the very least correct. Every once in a while I'll stumble on a page or facebook group (*massive groan*) that touts something about paradoxes and the weak foundations of mathematics. "Oh really?" I think, sounding interesting I continue reading, thinking they must be referring to all the problems and paradoxes found in set theory (the actual foundations of math). And here I read something like: "Oh math is so crazy, through logical foundations crazy paradoxes result. Here follows a list of paradoxes proving that the foundations of math are shaky at best." Then they list some paradoxes like they promised (they're not jerks after all, just dumb), and most of them are your typical logical paradoxes, you know the ones like: "All bandits are liars," said the bandit. So on and so forth, which are all fine and dandy until they insist on adding this one:
