I didn’t need proof myself, but I suppose it’s comforting nevertheless to have it mathematically confirmed.

    Not to be rude, but hah.

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    We know as well as anyone that math is the study of questions we can answer exactly, but which often aren’t very important. If you want to talk about something desperately meaningful talk to a philosopher (and keep talking, zing!).

    Right now Platonism is the dominant way of thinking about pure math, and in it’s lens the questions are treated as literally separate from the material world.
