> I'm not the only one that interprets a statement as "Math is Language" to be of the form "A = B" where "math" is A, "language" is B, and "is" is the equals operator, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43874322

This appears to be a link that contains zero support for your sentence. Neither the comment you linked nor the response below it features such an interpretation.

> Seems kinda simple.. You're engaging in a almost pure personal attacks. Care to address the substance of how the 3 word long statement is not of the form "A = B", but is of some other different form?

You're in luck! I've already provided that material, and you responded to it. For further discussion, you'd need to have a better working understanding of English.



Very cool how the last sentence you leave off with always has to be a personal attack. It's breaking the rules of the discussion, irrelevant. Stop trying to win points. Let's focus on the substance.

It's interesting, because there is a disagreement about whether there is a paradox or not. There is a paradox if you take my perspective (that an equals relationship is being expressed), but none if an implication relationship is assumed.

These two sentences:

- "By that same logic you could also say that language is math"

- "Not quite, but the inverse is true."

The "not quite" says that "language is math" is not true. So we have "A = B", but "B != A", which is a paradox. OTOH it's not a paradox if what is actually being said is "A => B" but "B !=> A"

Hello bad faith! I hope you are doing well today. Let's end the conversation here.
