    OP discovers countable infinity

      That’s not at all what they’re saying. They’re saying that 3 is not between 1 and 2. They could have also have said there’s a continuum of real numbers between 1 and 2 but none of them are 3.

        Maybe the real 3 was the friends we made along the way?

      There’s an uncountably infinite range of numbers between 1 & 2. OP is still wrong though. If you existing has some non-zero probability, there must be an infinite number of you, since any positive number multiplied by infinity is infinity.

        OP didn’t say there are not an infinite number of you. They said 3 isn’t between 1 and 2, therefore infinite sets don’t necessarily contain every value.
