Duality

Fun cost-saving tip!

Some of the more astute among you may have noticed that most commercials for expensive things now advertise using pure numbers instead of actual prices! For example, a new car that should be advertised as costing $19,999 is in fact advertised as costing nineteen-nine-nine-nine by a fast-talking voice! This leads to the exciting conclusion that if you can induce the manifestation of pure numbers in the real world you can exchange one 19 and three 9s for a brand-new automobile instead of using the sorts of numbers you have to work for! Even more excitingly, pure numbers primarily manifest conceptually in your mind, which is part of the real world, implying that if you can satisfactorily describe the concept of a pure number to the automobile seller you will in fact have conceptually duplicated the pure numbers in question from your mind to theirs, thus fulfilling your role in a contractually binding exchange of goods in the eyes of economic law! Conclusion? If you talk to a car seller about maths for long enough they'll eventually give you a car to make you go away.
