    I don’t remember if you were the guy who mentioned believing in platonic ideals in math or what (platonic ideals come deeply into conflict with dialectics), but it seems as if your philosophical views are highly eclectic. Maybe you should study some authors who explain dialectical materialism.

      I mean, mathematical Platonism seems to be the most popular view on ontology among mathematicians, so my views are not exactly special in that regard.

      However, I have not shared these thoughts on Hexbear before, at least as far as I can remember. Also, please, don’t call me a ‘guy’. I am not hard-against that, but would rather not be called that word or described as such.

        Ok, sorry about calling you a guy.

        Mathematical platonism is rejected in the dialectical world-view. In fact, dialectics is entirely incompatible with platonism. Dialectics by definition sees all objects are having fuzzy boundaries that change over time. In dialectics, the definition of objects is context dependent and negotiable.
