Anyway, math is math is math. Math self-selects precise measurements that work according to laws that eventually Newton conceptualized how to mathematically express in his calculus.
This is the flow chart of human evolutionary history:
One could say, "Oh so humans follow around the idea of mathematical order" but that is not correct. In some poetic sense we do, or the very rare geniuses do (Pythagoras? Newton?), but this is a noisy, indirect, and inefficient system. But it works.

Here is my simple interjection that, naturally, kind of changes what could logically follow next, and really, helps tame this beast you seem to have got barnacled onto you. The intervention comes early. Quote:
At that point, the problem is crystal clear and there is no time to bandy about "could Oprah understand this?" [NO]. Mirror of what? What are we seeing in this "mirror" that is how our mind works? If sciencce is a "mirror" of nature, that means it's just a reflection and what is nature? And what is the mirror? CHaos is unleashed. AKA the next 200-ish years of western philosophy. It was kind of an Oppenheimer deal. The "cognitive explosition" is still going off. Woot! Because here is what happened at the birth of modern thought (usually attributed to Decsartes but Bacon works equally well):
You see this, you see Kant, you see Hume, you see Hegel, of course positivism, you see even the phenomenologists, since they are *still* stuck on the "wtf is a mirror?" deal. Only possible person who escaped? Dick Rorty, whom I've had the pleasure of meeting once a long time ago. But I think he just gets people to forget his "and that's fuckin it" part cuz he was a swell guy. A charmer. No nihilist he. Leibniz -- no nihilist oho! I think nihilism in the precise sense is the key concept to confront and disarm this century. We got to get clear on nihilism. It's bad joojoo.

Guys, fewer than 1% of black women work on oil rigs. Exclusion, bias, harassment, racism, genocide, white supremacy, and full-blown rape persist on oil rigs.
I can't believe people fall for this shit. | ||
