It’s not a 360 page proof, it just appears that many pages into the book. That’s the whole proof.

Weak-ass proof. You could fit this into a margin.

Upvoting because I trust you it’s funny, not because I understand.

Principia mathematica should not be used as source book for any actual mathematics because it’s an outdated and flawed attempt at formalising mathematics.

Axiomatic set theory provides a better framework for elementary problems such as proving 1+1=2.
