Like "the biggest number used by ultra finitists + 1" ... oops.
The biggest number + 1 is a number that does not belong to the set
of all numbers...
I think you were quoting Liz, who was quoting the Cowboy. Now, your
answer make sense, but it shows that an ultrafinitist capable of
vindicating explicitly his ultrafinitist position, needs to be non-
ultrafinitiste at the meta-level. That can make sense for physicalist
ultrafinitism. Fair enough. But comp is false in that case, and the
mind is made even more mysterious. Why not of course.
