"Mathematics exists because it was invented by humans. It isn't some immaterial "truth" that was out there for us to discover. "
Just because we gave a name to describe what we observe in the natural world, doesn't mean we invented the observation. The golden rule exists wether or not we are here to observe it.
This is how it works, we observe patterns in the natural world that are absolute, and consistant, and universal, and then make a name to describe that observation, for example the fibonacci sequence:
