That's fake. Useful, succinct, beautiful, but a complete construct. We are real and pizza is real.

Math is a falsifiable explanatory system. Relationships to our perceptions of reality are nonessential. Math is still true on LSD.

Consciousness is also fake btw. Dualism is bunk.

I don’t think “fake” is meaningful when talking about epistemology. But consciousness is emergent, sure, and dualism is bunk, yes.

I am being overly dramatic when I say fake. What I mean is "not an object"
