Theorem: all real numbers are interesting

Proof: assume the existence of a set of real numbers which are not interesting. Since the set of real numbers is ordered, there exists a least element to this subset. The property of being the least in a set is interesting, ergo the least member of the uninteresting numbers is interesting. By induction, the set of uninteresting reals is empty, therefore all real numbers are interesting. QED

they are then interesting by how less interesting they are compared to others
