"Are Infinity and Finity Reconcilable?" is an article by Glenn Borchardt published on 22 December 2025 on The Scientific Worldview. His answer is no.
The piece replies to a reader who proposed paraconsistent logic as a way of resolving the infinite regression that infinity introduces into logic and mathematics — the position that a statement may be both true and false at the fundamental level, with Russell's paradox as the type case. Borchardt rejects the move, holding that a logic which tolerates contradiction abandons the thing that made it useful.
