Your "proof" is no such thing.  It makes wild assertions, and doesn't
start from that which is acknowledged to be true.

You are a crank.  Your knowledge of the subject is very much less than
your self opinion.  There is absolutely no point pointing out specific
mistakes you make.  You just ignore such points.  You have been ignoring
them for years, and if I pointed out a mistake you would ignore that,
too.  There's nothing to be gained by arguing with cranks.

Your ability to reason abstractly is missing.  All this stuff you've
spent the last 20 years on is mastered in, at most, a few hours by the
typical student studying it.  And you still don't get it.

Lots of people on this newsgroup have tried to help you understand the
subject matter: currenly, most notably Richard, Fred, Mikko.  In the
past, Ben, and several others.

You're not interested in learning; you just want people to admit you're
right, something which isn't going to happen, given how objectively wrong
you are.  If you want people to agree with you, you'd probably be better
arguing over a softer, less definite subject, such as politics or
economics or religion; there, you'd surely find people to agree with any
opinion, no matter how outlandish.  Sadly for you, that isn't the case in
the foundations of mathematics.

So, no, I'm not going to enter into pointless arguments with you, when
experience shows you ignore points made, insult the person you're arguing
with and learn nothing.  I've got far better things to do with my time.
