I am sorry that you cannot see it, and I am not sure if I can help you. I have failed to make myself understood to you in the past, and I have not yet figured out where our respective modes of making sense of the universe diverge.

In this case I think you’re actually wrong, it’s not a divergence, it’s a disagreement. I understand what your position is, I just don’t think it is correct 😀 And it’s not just you and me, there are 2 entire tribes divided by this question.

Yes, Penrose is not only confused about the status of the Platonic, but also about the status of mathematics. Quite surprising for such a big mind.
