>>11967693Everything I wrote is reasonable, in spite of your insult retort which doesn't engage the content of the argument and is therefore void.
>>11967698Your referred post is unfortunately poorly written and polemical. Worse, its context is confused enough that for me to reject or qualify it entails its whole thread of discussion, but here we go. An anon starts out with a vaguely anti-Platonic sentiment:
>>11967601 . The rhetorical thrust here is that with a different set of axioms, a different mathematical reality obtains, therefore double-digits like the twitter girl should, in principle, be taken seriously with their metaphysical claims. The central problem with this bit is the rejection of mathematical Platonism, which leads to error.
Then, in response, a badly written, confused polemic
>>11967613 , which seems to be "on my side" (Reality of Math/Platonism/definitions), albeit in a confused way. This post vaguely refers to definitions and axioms and seems to reject rejections of a given system itself as silly. Making matters worse, you yourself seem to have confounded this poor post as a "refutation" of what I'd written here
>>11967684 , referring it to me as "advice". Lots of talking past each other.
>>11967708In this case, it always turns on the young dumb and full of cum person having read about a different counting system in a tribal group which models the same counting reality, and they mistake the cosmetic and cultural differences for a different elementary mathematical reality, where none exists. That's the thesis.
