The parts of philosophy that are not within the realm of mathematical models cannot be proven. Therefore, they cannot be true, but you only see that once you have defined truth mathematically.

Just like mathematical axioms, the parts of philosophy that can’t be proven are what matters most. Because they are “why” we do math, while math is just “how” - a means to an end. Not an end in itself. To even start looking at math we have to first have the “why” - aka philosophy

There is no why outside of the reward function. To understand that you need to start on a non intentional foundation.

2/ after you have done the math then you have to ask again - “so what?” - philosophy again. So, as I said before, philosophy is the beginning and the end of math; the “why” and “what.” Math is just the “how” - dangerous if you get the “how” right but mess up the “why” or “what.”

3/ The greatest danger is not likely to be a result of getting the math wrong, hard as it may be. The greatest danger to all life on our planet is likely to be the result of having the wrong philosophy. If that is the case, getting the math right will do more damage than good.
