>"Let there be" is a religious statement
"Let" is an imperative, son. In mathematical logic, it's a statement to which the condition that it is true is added (not the belief in that statement by the author). By demonstrating that this assumption leads to no contradiction and its negation would, its truth-value is justified. It's NEVER necessarily apodictically true, you fucking retard.
The vast majority of mathematicians aren't platonists either, moron. They're formalists, which is the thing between platonism and your just-as-religious finitism.

We humans have it in us to experience joy. So we should try to maximize our happiness by lowering expectations and basically just laugh about life.
