Why mathematicians are obssesed with their stuff to the point that they act as if it was more real than reality itself, yet whenever you question them about the philosophical implications of their schizo rants, they just go: nah its just fake, bro.And to be clear, Im not asking why mathematics work in reality if its a construct of our minds. Im asking why mathematicians are so autistic about le pragmatism, its like they dont realize how their field is as ideologically conditioned as the rest or something.
>>17079690I mean Mathematics since Euclid has been obsessed with Axioms and Proofs. It’s always been trying to find the reality and truth of mathematics.
>>17079690Could you provide a single (one [1] ) example of what the hell you are talking about.
>>17079750Ex: mathematicians wont care about the epistemological implications of boolean algebra as was shown in the "Calculus of indications" (Spencer-Brown). I understand they might despise the "New Age" bullshit that Spencer-Brown loved, or the borderline charlatanry of his claims about having solved shit like Riemann hypothesis. Despite this, Laws of Form and its implications influenced biology, sociology and cybernetics, but mathematicians will tell you its just a metaphor at best, and deny any aplication beyond their field.
>>17079690>its like they dont realize how their field is as ideologically conditioned as the rest or something.they don't, that's the whole conceit of "mathematical truth", because the educational culture does not admit how deep the axiomatic scaffolding goes and that it terminates in brain structurethere really is no way to separate it from the platonism question, and the platonist stance is the one that gives professional results
>>17079690Axiom AI is now a thing. Look it up.Math just dunked on you, kot.
