He's right you know: mathematics can't explain anything. They're just bean counters.

Nobody ever said it did. Mathematics is a tool.

Good thing "explaining things" isn't the point of mathematics. Math is a tool. Btw, fuck off OP.

If it can't explain anything, what's the point of it?

It's a language to write firstly facts about numbers in, numbers themselves as an abstract idea. Secondly we can count and measure things in real life. The theorems we found about numbers themselves apply to the measurements as well.

Where does groups and modules and diffeomorphisms and stuff come in, then? That's not counting or measuring things

Why don't you just start tripfagging here, Ken? I don't see Tooker as much as I used to, and while you're not quite schizopilled, I could definitely see myself finding your shenanigans as entertaining as his.

Can logic explain anything? If not, we should abandon it. Wait a second...
