Hey man! you like geometry? You know some cool theorems about euclidean geometry?

I'm building this application as a way to learn geometry so no I don't know a ton about Euclidean geometry. I do know that it is deeply misunderstood however, one cannot build a continuous line from discontinuous points.

Ah this question. You know I used to ask a similar question myself. But I would advise you to look at set theory for answers. Doesn't have to be formal... can be naive set theory to get you going in the right direction.

Set theory is pretty bunk, check out Guenon's The Metaphysical Principles of The Infinitesimal Calculus. I'll make a long post later about the metaphysical and intellectual bankruptcy of formalism and set theory.

Aight, let me see why set theory is bunk. But ... if you look at the post "what is the line between Insight and intuition" , well Imma about to propose something really simple. But it seems like there isn't much engagement on that topic. I even gave a Hint :C.
since no engagement then I aint giving my "metaphysics out"
