I can doubt actual infinities. Not potential infinities, which gives sense to any non

Comp is ontologically finitist. As long as you don't claim that there is a biggest prime

epistemology, or at the meta-level: they are mind tool, souls attractor etc.

But diagonalization arguments assume realized infinities.
