Comment by Houshalter

Wildberger is a recurring subject on /r/badmathematics including this recent story. He's almost a crank and has some very very strange views on mathematics. He strongly objects to the use of infinity and proofs and mathematics that involve it, which includes real numbers.

If I understand correctly, he goes even farther and claims even really big but finite numbers don't "exist". And through this he claims to have "resolved" the Goldbach conjecture and other strange things.
