I mean should or shouldn't doesn't even matter really. All that would do is remove the idea of zero in this sector but others who are waaay out there and beyond reach would still have it so sooner or later it would show up again anyway

Why if there are 2 zeros does it still equal zero? No you shouldn't take zero away, instead you should command your knowledge to summarize the new next digit. Imagine if 2 Flipflams = 2 Zeros.

think of it like a wave counting from 1 to 10 (10 being the top or tip of the wave) it essentially has no meaning in terms of the wave, we gave it meaning where that meaning is nothing and has nothing to do with the rest of the wave. its just a point that lets us follow patterns easily. zero has been dilluted though. Its easy to once we are conditioned to think zero is the starting point to become completely disoriented in what we think we know.

Zero, Nil, Void, Absence, Darkness, Emptiness, etc. as a concept always fascinates me... We know it as an idea but is literally nothing. Like not something that we named "nothing" but the complete lack of something altogether. It's honestly such an incomprehensible idea to truly imagine nothing, since it's isn't anything at all. Your mind gets caught up in a loop sometimes thinking about the idea.

Also I think it's poetic and very interesting the fact that matter, existence, and presence are fundamentally and originally made to be good things brought about by God, and the evil beings use these things for their own gain, even though the final end goal of evil is literally nothingness. With God you have eternity, where things will exist indefinitely in motion, but the enemy will eventually be destroyed. If not by his own hand or by entropy, eventually by God. The end goal of evil is "wearing one's self out" until you're whittled into dust. Nothing. Doesn't sound too appealing to me.

It absolutely is, numbers immediately lose consistency if you pull some shit like that. How will you represent the teens, what about numbers like 100, or higher than 10 that also end in 0? Are you going to do 十7, keep it as 17, do things like 十十, or what? The moment you end up having to do things like 十十7, it's like you're working in two entirely different number systems.

Hmm.
If that was superior, we do you think we moved from that system towards the one we currently use?
The value of mathematics isn't in representing things that exist, but concepts. The concept of zero is useful. The concept of negative numbers is useful. The concept of imaginary numbers is useful. And so on and so forth.
That they don't reflect things that tangibly exist is well beyond the point.

-0 = 0. There. I expanded your knowledge.

>>40861919
It allows you to:
- define negative numbers
- many types of equations are often rephrased to [left side] - [right side] = 0 to make them easier to solve (e.g. quadratics of the type 3x^2+2x = 7x - 5 would become 3x^2 - 5x + 5 = 0, whence you can use the quadratic formula)
- 0 is known as the additive identity in algebra, so it's required in most (interesting) algebraic structures (additive groups/monoids, rings, fields, ...) to give them certain important properties. The real numbers being a field, for instance, guarantees that every number except 0 can be divided by and that you can cancel addition and multiplication (e.g. a * b = a * c implies b = c)
- it is the cardinality of the empty set
- your le heckin' epic 0 equation: e^{i * pi} + 1 = 0

Look up bijective numerical bases, they're kinda cool.

Ultimately, as >>40864804 points out, mathematics is semi-arbitrary, as in, we (somewhat arbitrarily) define some basic rules and look what they logically lead to. And for the sorts of things we need numbers for, we have found "0" to be fairly useful, which is why we've defined it into existence, as in, there would likely be a lot of things we couldn't do in math without it.

Very well said.
When I was younger and dumber (25+ years ago, back in high school - now I'm just dumb), I was interested in theology and philosophy. Wanted to be a philosopher.
One day I was at Starbucks and got into a conversation with a local philosophy student. Fairly smart guy. And we were talking, and I explained how I hated math, and he stopped me to point out that math is philosophical to its core, and very much the backbone of philosophy.
I was wise enough not to argue the point with him, and spent years pondering it instead. And it's true. It's a deep rabbit hole on its own, deeper if you consider regular philosophy, and endlessly deep if you get into esoterism.
The abstract doesn't need to be readily apparent in a tangible manner to be worth considering. Yet you still need concepts which reflect those abstract ideas.
And math is the ultimate abstract language.

There is a negative. You now "owe" apples. You're now in debt, a concept I'm positive you recognize. In one quantum instance, you do not have possession of the apples. You can choose not to fulfill that debt, but in doing so it means that in your head you have recognized the idea of zero and having negative apples.

To expand on the binary point, if you are to write 1 as a byte in binary, you'd write 0000 0001. 2 is 0000 0010. Three is 0000 0011.
Under a 1 and 2 system where you just moved stuff up, it becomes 1111 1112, 1111 1121, 1111 1122 respectively.
By getting rid of "0" you've made something already complicated a hell of a lot more complicated.

Not all kinds of numbers make sense for all applications. Of course you cannot use negative numbers for counting, but that's not what they're for. It's like concluding the color green can't exist because happiness can't be green.
Negative numbers are used for relative offsets, differences and things where the zero-point is arbitrary. Take for instance elevation, where we define sea level to be 0; things below sea level then end up having a negative elevation.
And again: negative numbers are real because we say so and because we find them useful. They make sense mathematically, using them does not lead to contradictions and in many fields of mathematics you absolutely need them.

>>40866606
In a way... Mathematics and Philosophy were once one and the same (as was all science; philosophy is the mother of all science, after all). But mathematics separated out, since the things it dealt with were abstract (and thereby simple) which allowed for them to be reasoned about with pure logic. The structure of a mathematical proof is very similar to that of a philosophical argument, since both are fundamentally based on logic, and you can in theory express philosophy in terms of math.
You should also consider that mathematicians like mathematics because they consider it beautiful; contrary to what your average normalfag thinks, mathematicians don't sit all day in front of a calculator (in fact, it's rare for them to do much calculation at all, or even for some, to see numbers!). Rather, they think about abstract objects defined by arcane rules that fifteen other people in the world have ever heard of and try to reason and find out something new about them. In that way, I guess, it is a lot like philosophy.
