I took Calculus and a lot of other advanced math and I don't recall ever seeing anything that said adding a group of positive numbers, all > 1 could ever be less than the sum of any two of those numbers much less a value less than zero.
It doesn't. It is equal to positive infinity.

The video I posted covers all of the zeta function stuff, but it still doesn't make that series converge to -1/12.
