Mathematicians and scientists have vague folk theories of what math and science are that both are blurred ancestral memories of pre-WWII logical positivism.
These theories are totally wrong, but do little *direct* harm because they are mainly ignored in practice.

I re-read your notes on Grabiner. Good stuff! Maybe you could post publicly? With minimal polishing if that seems necessary.

I'd completely forgotten what I'd written! Reading back, yeah that does look possible but probably want to polish a little bit, will take a proper look later

It's an anthology so obviously patchy, and some of the rest is formal logic and computer proofs which I have zero interest in - ymmv. But the general theme of the book is great and I haven't really seen anything else like it.

Thanks!
