@EveKeneinan Well, one can create mathematical statements that are internally true but do not reflect any reality.> -

Mathematics has abstraction. People don't seem to tolerate abstract ethics, morals.
@HPluckrose@EveKeneinan -
I agree that, for most people, ethics and morality are more connected to our sense of ourselves.
