      I did not learn math (beyond trivial school level) as a child, because I was not smart enough to figure out why it was supposed to be interesting (and not knowing anyone who was into more than pretend play about this). It seems the path to the core of the architecture of our mind

      Only because we have /chosen/ to structure the metaphysical basis of our civilization along such lines.

      There is only a tiny subset of society that consciously uses a mathematical foundation to their metaphysics, and they often have outsized influence.

      Yes. They are essentially the high priests of our present era. Just like the high priests of yore, they get their authority by demonstrating their ability to perform ‘miracles’. Whiz bang machines & inventions today, the movements of celestial bodies earlier.

      Remarkably few mathematicians seem to be able to prove to themselves that stage magic is the right career choice.

      Of whom are you thinking with "people who have mathematical foundation to their metaphysics"?

      I'm surprised. I'm pretty sure most people get their metaphysics by osmosis. At primary school they might believe god loves them, at secondary school they learn god is irrelevant, and in the workplace they learn money talks. So we arrive at a metaphysics of materialism …

      Yes, most people are epistemologically naive, and have no agency over their beliefs and identification. When you asked, I thought you wanted a list of names, and was hesitant to share on twitter...

          Well, I was interested to see names but you are 100% right to not share them :-)
