How Crazy .. ?

Okay, I enjoy thinking about mechanical devices that do things, you would
not normally connect that such a mechanical device might do that.

For example, a mechanical device that could determine
how crazy something or someone might be.

So first consider how often and how much the term, " how crazy " , is
used.  It occurs frequently.  Generally it is connected to an event or
a person.  So you might say:  " how crazy is that person ? ", by which
you might be saying something good or maybe something not so
nice.

So a device of this type was utilized to great effect in the
Ghostbusters movies,  so it's not like something like this
has not been imagined.   Perhaps, even such a thing
exists and very few people know about it, and they
don't want to tell anyone else ,,,, perhaps.

But what it really comes down to is, if " how crazy ", can
be measured and described by some kind of numerically
based, type of number.  (As oppose to the non-numerical
ones ).

Mathematics loves this, obviously, observe the kinds of
things they engage with.

For example, they have an infinite number of numbers,
when for the average guy,  surely a finite number
would do, but you never know what might come
around that corner, so they decide, okay we'll have
more they anybody would really ever need or
want to use for that matter.

So I am afraid, if some mathematicians get a hold
of this they will figure it out,  in order to be able to use some of
their favorite things:  numbers.  Most likely they already did it,
however.

This is getting a little bit tedious, but I thought an example
to which a number might be ascribed, is our " political "
process.  I am of course thinking of what this blog
is about , a 2 party system where in the total population
is divided - really - into 3 majors groups, being the
side that doesn't want to talk about, or think about it,
being the majority.  The smaller groups are the two
groups which are incessantly talking about it ...
but constantly --- disagreeing --- with each other
in what is almost always a very disturbing way.

If you think about it, it is easier to describe the above
mentioned event in terms of words than numbers.

I will not try to assign a number to it, but I
would guess it might be either a really big
one, or ( perhaps ) something very, very small.

I hope I did not say finally before this, but
finally,,,, this disclaimer is to indicate that
the above,  was a contrived and forced effort
at humor, and should only be taken as that.

But seriously ,,,,,,
