    A clip from Mr. Show season 3 in which characters insist that 24 is the highest number. It is a short absurdist sketch about counting.

    Posted as a joke in threads about naming large numbers and the size of infinity.

    1. @dwaterJul 2021· in “How many real numbers exist? New proof moves closer to an answer”

      I have a degree in math but the first thing this headline made me thing of was still the "24 is the highest number" sketch from Mr. Show: this video Theoretical mathematics is often absurd, maybe that's why I like the sketch so much.

      I'm reticent to post humor here, but this article immediately made me think of this sketch from Mr. Show: this video

      Not a discussion of Scott Aaronson's blog, but a relevant bit from Mr. Show, "24 Is The Highest Number." this video
