Oh the mathematical drama! Someone asked if infinity is quantifiable on r/askmath, and while one user politely suggested researching countable vs uncountable infinity, our hero "Just_Rational_Being" swooped in to declare it all "abstract nonsense from Cantor's mental illness."

The irony is DELICIOUS! Georg Cantor, who revolutionized our understanding of infinity with set theory, faced brutal criticism in his time. Meanwhile, our supposedly "rational" commenter got downvoted to oblivion (-39) for dismissing one of math's most profound discoveries.

Turns out infinity IS quantifiable in multiple ways, and the only thing not rational here is that comment! The mathematical community has spoken with those downvotes - don't mess with Cantor's infinity!
