I think your counting's off: if you want to count dwarfs then Ceres would be "Planet 5", in which case "Planet 9" would be Neptune most of the time, since only a small part of Pluto's orbit crosses inside Neptune's.
Pluto's number would also depend on the current location of at least Quaoar, Haumea and Makemake, since I know their orbits cross inside Pluto's. Pluto may also swap numbers over time with others, like Sedna, Eris, Gonggong, Orcus, Salacia, Varda, Ixion, 2003 AZ84, 2002 MS4, 2002 AW197, etc. since they have quite low perihelia (30 to 40 AU) so may also cross inside Pluto's orbit.
Dwarf planets seem to be lucrative business for those who sell wall posters of the solar system. I would hate having to learn all of their relative locations and interactions in school!

That seems to have been the main reason the majority in the IAU voted to make dwarf planets not considered actual planets. Can't really say I agree with the mindset - it overly simplifies our solar system, as well as making the rocky planets appear more similar to the gas giants than they actually are (a problem in a lot of images of the solar system as well).
It's funny to see the number of people who believe the definition was just following scientific facts, when the vote came down to personal preferences over nomenclature. It's one of the more common examples you run into where modern day scientism has trouble distinguishing what is and what isn't science.
Personally - even if the comment wasn't serious I am glad it received a serious answer which redeemed the original comment. Most of the time I choose to downvote low effort comments like semi-relevant quotes from pop culture, because it triggers my post-traumatic ticks from past reddit experience.
It is a joke related to the episode 9 of the first season of Rick and Morty, where Jerry (the dad of Morty) does not want to change his belief concerning this fact he learned in highschool and make a big fuzz about it.
This is what I was thinking. Setting the minimum size to 2000Km diameter, and excluding satellites/mooons, we'd just have had to add one planet, if my reading is correct.
Pluto got re-categorized as dwarf planet because there were now more like it. Therefore, if you still want to call it a planet, it definitely wouldn't be the 9th one.
The Goldman method is to live in the office from 6 to 9 at night 7 days a week is 105 hours. Just sleep with your secretary. Hang out with your bros and expense it. Always be billing. No one who's is office for a 100 hours a week is actually working a 100 hours. Just expense everything, snort coffee and drink cocaine. This is the way.
Side query but can their be like a Defanger license that everyone other than FAANG companies can use? Just so you know, to make em bleed... Or at least a clause that FAANG has to pay to use the software but it is open-source for everyone else just to level playing grounds?
So in the end, computers just weaponize autism?
Super intelligence is a shitty meme, much like eugenics. There are only so many philosophical situations. And machine learning is just improving performance P at a task T with experience E.
So what pray is superintelligence? If you drop the tool bit, no robot can reason that it needs the tool bit to do the machining and would just move its arm anyways.
