Kid Describes Infinity As “Endless Rainbow Slide”

You never get to the bottom, ∴ you can’t have 3x infinity

The Daily Kina

I do not feel totally at ease with the concept of infinity—it’s too uncomfortable, for a lover of numbers, to conceive of a number that is beyond counting. I like to be able to catch up with my numbers, but Kina has addressed this by abandoning any notion of mathematics and just imagining a never-ending rainbow slide, which—once you commit to it—you ride on forever and ever. It is because of this that one cannot have two or three times infinity; you never have the opportunity to get on the second slide. I find this unassailable, and it will help me sleep at night.
