At the root of so much modern madness is a big glitch in map:territory thinking, where people get so caught up in their own assumptions about maps that they can no longer believe it's even possible to have meaningful access to the territoryhttps://twitter.com/HeatherEHeying/status/1312464832512229378 …
...and sometimes, finally, that there cannot actually be any territory at all. Very important to drop your philosophy major before you get there, folks
the risks of mainlining plato
isn't platonism the view that mathematical objects DO exist? (or is this one of those "plato wasn't a platonist" type of things?)
As someone who studied philosophy, most philosophers don't think like that. They mostly argue there is an objective reality, that there is a territory.
When to stop: the hidden art of good philosophy.
I wonder how much of this is people clinging to their $120k philosophy degree, because otherwise they might have to admit it was a scam. Or using it as a comfortable retreat when they’re lost.
As Plato suggested, try not to introduce people to study of philosophy before age 30
The term for “the world made of maps” is “the discourses”
Yeah, sorry - I think I was partially to blame for that. But I think the point to be made in that thread is not that math is either constructed or discovered (I'm not sure) but that race has no part in it. If constructed, it's constructed by the human brain.
This was something @TomLawt97108361 pointed out as well - the possibility of mathematical intuitions only come from a priori synthetic reasoning (Kant's position).
