I engaged in anon's "define" game in the beginning in a tongue-in-cheek way but these posts

are not mine.
Also there are two OPs in a sense: I wrote the posts in another thread which got deleted for some reason and some anon made this thread by copy-pasting my posts.

Strong agree with this post. Most human notions are not mathematical. Hell, even mathematical definitions lay on top of notions and words that do not have rigorous definitions. If one thinks that they need to define all things in order to be able to think and reason about them, then they will not be able to get anywhere because there will always be one more level of abstraction. Always one more thing to define.
