Thank you for this post. It's very rare for me to see other mathematicians who share my viewpoint, which you managed to capture in a very concise way.
I've always thought that mathematicians can be classified in three broad categories: First, there are the mathematical physicists, who see mathematics just as a toolbox that can be applied. Those are the people from whom you are most likely to hear jokes such as "mathematics is the language of nature", implying that mathematics has no use unless it can be directly applied to some physical model. Then there are the "computer scientists" (even if they don't actually do CS), the mathematicians who see math as a game or a puzzle to be solved. One that is particularly interesting and hard, and which can offer the player enduring fame and glory, but a game nonetheless. Finally, there is the philosopher (in the etymological sense of the word, not necessarily one who practices philosophy as understood today); the lover of knowledge, the mathematician who has a belief (faith) that mathematics is one of the few disciplines where humans can attain understanding. The author of that mathoverflow post seems to understand this viewpoint in a way similar to mine.
For the record, I am not claiming at all that one of those types is better than the rest. My own bias is evident, but that can't be helped for a matter as personal as this.

How can we even have morals?
Isn't it just like we don't go killing people because then the police would fuck us up?
That's not really morals. right?
And you know you wanna fuck some dumb as faggots up, stupid fuckking niggers?
So can we rigorously justify morals?
Or are we just going with how shit is and just call that morals?
