Strict finitism

Okay kiddo, today we are going to learn about something called strict finitism. It's a big word, but don't worry, we will break it down into simple parts.

Finitism means that we only believe in things that can be counted or measured. Imagine you have a basket of apples, you can count them one by one. Finitism is like that, we only believe in things that we can count or measure.

Now, strict finitism is a little bit different. It means that we only believe in things that can be counted or measured using a finite set of numbers. A finite set of numbers means a specific and limited number of numbers. So, for example, we can count from 1 to 10, but we can't go beyond that because it's not a finite set of numbers.

Now, why do some people believe in strict finitism? There are different reasons, but one of the main ones is that they think the only things that exist are things that we can measure or count with a finite set of numbers. They believe that anything beyond that is just imagination or not real.

This way of thinking has some advantages, such as making sure we are always dealing with things that are concrete and measurable. However, it also has some limitations, as there are things that exist beyond what we can measure or count.

So that's strict finitism, kiddo. It's a way of thinking that only believes in things that can be counted or measured with a finite set of numbers. Remember, it's important to keep an open mind and explore different ways of thinking.
