The First Post

There is naught to say in the first post. It is only special because it is first. The post is novel by its nature.

An old, ill-fated proof goes:

Theorem: All natural numbers are interesting

Proof: Assume there exist uninteresting natural numbers.
These numbers can be well-ordered.
Therefore, there exists a first uninteresting number.
This number, being the first uninteresting number, is therefore interesting.
So there can be no first uninteresting number.
Our assumption must be false.
RAA: There exist no uninteresting numbers; all numbers are interesting.

I think this post is interesting.
