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.

I mean Mathematics since Euclid has been obsessed with Axioms and Proofs. It’s always been trying to find the reality and truth of mathematics.

Could you provide a single (one [1] ) example of what the hell you are talking about.

>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 structure
there really is no way to separate it from the platonism question, and the platonist stance is the one that gives professional results

Axiom AI is now a thing. Look it up.
Math just dunked on you, kot.

it's the philosopher's job to make sense of mathematics and contextualize all of it in our perceivable reality
many mathematicians are simply not skilled in thatit's like asking a musician about notes, tempos and the theory behind it all. Many will not be able to tell you anything of substance, either, and just say: Well, you know, I just kinda intuit it all

It is. We live in a world of imperfect projections of forms.
