Numbers and mathematics don’t exist

numbers are vibration, the "words" of the creator

math is made up rules and the consequences of those made up rules. basically none of it is real

If one has "a" beer that is less than having more than "a" beer. From hence forth having "a" beer will be known as "one" beer. This is to differentiate between "a" beer and more than "a" beer. Perhaps someone may ask you if you would like "a" beer though you decide you would like more than "a" beer. You feel you would like "a" beer AND "a" nother beer. In order to convey the meaning of wanting "a" beer and "a" beer you decide that having an "a" and an "a" is "two". Once your friend agrees with this truth you both know that "two" beer(s) is "a" beer and "a" beer. Though, i suppose some times one may want more than "two" beers...

Sets, and more generally, equivalence classes.

I think you kad want to read some world of Bertrand Russel on philosophy of mathematics.

Generally, we take existenxe of numbers for granted, and even though simple operations, such as counting and addition seem trivial to us, when you try to explain it, it is not as easy.
You can argue that number as we know them, or that little we know of them is because of axiomatic systems we use and so on.
Peano axioms are one example
