      The work has an entire chapter that cautions against the use of this mathematics in the social sciences, precisely because the problems are ill-defined and difficult or impossible to measure. Math isn’t a “magic wand”. I’ve had to have this conversation several times myself.

      Please don’t bring me into that. I do not discuss or make commentary on social or political issues in public.

      Please accept my humblest apologies. Only meant to highlight a very wise preface. Will delete if it makes you feel more comfortable.

      I don't blame you. I come here to discuss maths learn from collegues and have informative discussions with opposing views points, the more different the better. But everyone doesn't seem to share my motivations...

      I agree. I like math talk, myself. And interesting random stuff.

      Ok then here's one for you. If you have only the set of undefinable reals, it is uncountable. But every uncountable set has a countable subset. 1) define the countable subset of the undefinable reals 2) does this subset or the reals define a group under addition? How's that?

      So I'll define the undefinable reals as to what they are NOT.

      Why is there maths in my notifications? I feel sure we've spoken about this.

          Sorry, only meant to show you the first tweet of the preface to the math book. I shall remove your uninterested self from this fascinating discussion. Feel free to ignore and grab a cup of coffee. :) (I'm getting in trouble all over Twitter tonight)

          Now look Helen. You've made this poor innocent mathematician (Rachel) feel bad. Sooner or later you're going to have to admit SOME math into your epistemology. (And don't worry Rachel, Helen just likes to take the piss out of me and other grounded in sound logic non-atheists)
