And the subjective world is all we ever have.
And I admitted that several times in several various ways. Though our mathematics is intended to be objective, human nature and the availability of knowledge will always inject a certain amount of subjectivity into our mathematics. We can never completely know a system from within that system.
I agree with you, but some seem not convinced of our human subjective position regarding knowledge. As what we call math has no choice but to be examined from our subjective position, questions can, and should arise as to how objective any of it can be.
When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
