IOW, "we've got a formal system and you don't".

How can you in 1 paragraph, dismiss all informal proofs of mathematics
and eliminate any possibility to show an error of formal systems
themselves?

This is standard Dicatator methodology, once in office remove the
elections.

Cantor cranks are NOT trying to prove anything about real numbers!

We're trying to tell you your fantastic claims are imaginary.

LISTEN FOR ONCE DUDE!

It's very evident when you consider the following status quo of
Cantor's proof:

[Jim Burns]
All I ask is that you show us such a list.
Pick any list. Tell us what it is.
Use any digit-to-digit conversion. Tell us what it is.
Make your desired anti-diagonal. Tell us what it is.
Then tell us where in your list the anti-diagonal is.

Do that, and I will agree that you have disproven
Cantor's anti-diagonal proof.

If you DON'T do that, WHY don't you? (You don't
even have to answer that question here. Just ask
yourself, "Why am I not doing something that will
give me everything I want?")

SHOW ME A DIGIT ON THE DIAGONAL THAT
EQUALS D AND EQUALS D+1

THAT is your entire argument!

THAT is your proof of BIGGER THAN INFINITY!
