well, if you claim omega is odd, are you willing to claim omega + 1 is even? There is no ordinal B such that 2 * B is omega + 1, so it fails that definition. So you have to say omega is odd and omega + 1 is also odd, which is... odd.

When we talk about things, we sometimes use their relationship to other things to define them rather than talking about them directly. I'm not sure how my answer is irrelevant and deserving of your snark.

When you hear about X overdoses in an area in a shockingly small amount of time, it's not people dying because they took too many oxycodone pills, it's because of street fentanyl. You can thank the war on drugs for that.
