I think you need a refresher on the philosophy of mathematics: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mathematics.



The education system has utterly failed in its duty in teaching how to use the mind. Instead we see masses are indoctrinated and told what is, and what to remember rather than first principles and tooling to reason.

We must do better! Good link for anyone really.


Any particular point I should be refreshed on? I mean the uncalculated digits of pi obviously exist in the sense that with a better computer you could discover what they are regardless of what various philosophers may or may not have said.
