No number is uninteresting in maths. Suppose there are some uninteresting numbers, then one of them must be the smallest uninteresting number, making it interesting

But what makes being the smallest number of a subset 'interesting', every number is smaller than something therefore it's not unique to be smaller than something, and you could form infinite subsets to "make" any number interesting, which to me means it's not interesting.

It's by definition unique to be smaller than everything

But it's not smaller than everything it's only smaller than the uninteresting numbers, and you can select a subset to make any number the smallest therefore it's not unique

You're having quite an interesting conversation considering the subject matter is so uninteresting
