There are at least 20 working philosophers of mathematics who have contributed directly to computing and mathematics who are also formalists and also more on the mysterian/Cartesian side. Just because u don't understand Floridi's argument — "he dumb".

I take your point, and I try to make a strong case for the view. But my preference is to do so with politeness, charity, and humility.

I find that politeness is an important part of integrity. Charity is a requirement for any meaningful discourse. But humility implies that our positions are somehow still related to our self or our worth, which I think they should not be.

No, most of the other positions have literally a "hard problem", and the people holding them generally don't do so because they think that they solve that problem, but because they think they have to accept that no theory can *work*, i.e. functionally reproduce the observables.
