@lumenphosphor@allgebrah oh also that evidence of psych/neuro reasons for math make math as "reality" seem less likely2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@The_Lagrangian@lumenphosphor that's a library of babel problem: once you've mapped out all the structure there is, there is no void left1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@The_Lagrangian@lumenphosphor math being rooted in brain structure does not make the platonic realm less plausible, just much less salient1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
