I wouldn't dismiss math. I find it very interesting and contributory rather than trickery or something to be ignored.

I like the notion that math might describe something other than what is evidenced naturally. Pure logic disconnected from reality should precede reality. If only because the basis of logic is derived from what is observed. And then it is also limited by predefined laws. Science then comes to the rescue and by observing actual reality ever more finely and accurately both intentionally and unintentionally.

I'd love to talk about personally and voice and hear thoughts more clearly than I fear is possible here.
