• Social conventions are real, well defined things

    So are the laws of nature, that Maths arises from

    Some mathematicians like to pretend they aren’t, while using a truckload of them; that’s a hypocritical opinion

    No, you making false accusations against Mathematicians is a strawman

    That’s not to say you can’t change them

    You can change the conventions, you cannot change the rules

    But all of basic arithmetic is a social convention

    Nope, law of nature. Even several animals know how to count.

    you can redefine the numbers and operations any time you want too

    And you end up back where you started, since you can’t change the laws of nature
